Mollie

 In memory of Mollie 4/15/98 – 9/6/16 RIPI remember the day we first took you home 
Seems like yesterday with all of these years gone by 
You did your own things and mingled and caused some fuss 
I don’t regret any of our time
 
Now this house is so empty without you 
You were part of our family, our home 
So many memories keep rushing through me 
Without you we feel so alone 
 
This family is missing a piece without you 
You must now be in a better place 
It’s just so hard for me sitting here 
Knowing we can’t see your face 
 
I remember you scratching my feet from under the bed 
Making us watching you eat 
Sometimes you were looking for attention in wonderful ways 
You always came running for a treat 
 
Now this house is so empty without you 
You were part of our family, our home 
So many reasons to miss you so much 
Without you we feel so alone 
 
Sometimes we can still hear your sounds 
Even though we know you are gone 
Thank you for loving us unconditionally 
And for having so much courage for you to move on
