Lilly crossed the Bridge

Good bye sweet sister. I'll miss you so much and will never forget you.

Lilly crossed very peacefully. Mom is a wreck but knows this was for the best. Besides a tumor, she was dealing with serious heart issues the ER didn't even tell her about. Her heart was not where it was suppose to be and it looked like there might have been a tumor there too. We are having a McDonald's M&M McFlurry in her honor tonight.

Karen Jo said...

I am so sorry that Lilly went to the Bridge. She was so sick that it was for the best, but that is little comfort right now, I know. She's probably introducing the other kitties at the Bridge to the joys of McFlurries right now.

MISS PEACH >(^.^)< said...

Bless you sad hearts at the loss of your precious kitty Lilly. You loved her with all you had to give and she knew that. May your memories comfort you right now and know how much we all care.
Love Miss Peach

Sweet Lilly, we even don't find words for our sadness!

However it's better for Lilly to be free of pain now. Rest in peace, little sweetheart!

Take care!

Poppy Q said...

Awww sweet Lilly I am sorry to hear that you had to go to the bridge. I know though that your mom must have known you was very tired and she would have sent you on your way with kisses.

I am sorry your mom has a pussycat hole in her heart, but I know that soon she will be able to look at all of your lovely pictures and smile again.

Smooches and purrs.

I'll also be burning candles to wish Lilly a safe journey over the rainbow. It hurts me a lot to see another friend in the CB going away so suddenly but I think it's the best too for her to be free from more pain.

My condolences to all.

~~~~
Don't Grieve Too Long
Don't grieve too long for now I'm free
I've followed the path God set for me
I ran to Him when I heard His call
I swished my tail and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To meow, to love, to romp or play
Games left unplayed must stay that way
I found such peace; it made my day.

My parting has left you with a void
Please feel it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, your laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too shall miss

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My lifes been full, you've given so much
Your time, your love and gentle touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your head and share with me
God wanted me; He set me free!!

Kelly Cat said...

The years I've worn you,
warm on my shoulder,
ended here ...
surprised to find us older.

And there was nothing
left to do today
but hold you close
and help you on your way.

Be still, my little cat.
Be well; be free.
I know that you're somewhere near,
and loving me.

Tybalt said...

I am so very, very sad to have lost such a wonderful friend. Laila and Laila's mom, I just want you to know that me and my mommy are both here for you. We are very leaky-eyed about Lilly. Even though it was for the best, and she won't be suffering any more, those that she has left behind will miss her so very much.

You were both very brave to let her go and help her cross the bridge.

I am purring very hard for both of you.

Mr. Echo said...

Katie & Da Katz said...

Bye Bye Lilly... Goz play wif Bonnie Underfoot now...

Purrs to Laila and Mawmee.

Mawmee wantz ta tellz you dat God lets hur see da Rainbow brij onse. Dis a tru storee - Whn hur beloved Jason gotted run ovfur. Jason waz a house panfur who loved his gurl, a white cat name Aone (Ah-Wun).

Now Aone had gone ovfur da brij frum Kidney failure many years afore dis accident (probably due to sumpin in da foodiez - backs in 1980 sumpin).

And Jason waz furry old by den and couldn't seez much. He also hadz arthritis and dehr waznt sumpin on da markets den furry Katz.

Any wayz, he gotted outz, lookin fur a plase 2 go ta sleepy and go over da brij on hiz own. But he couldn't see. He walked cross a busy street and gotted runs over on da wayz back (whnz Mawmee and hur Mawmee waz callin him.)

Mawmee felt devastated and wents a laid downs on hur bed to purray and cry. Din da oddest ting happened. She hurds a bootiful voice say, "I see Aone!" and den she watched hur gentle house panfur (who taught Aone how ta use da littur box vs da baftub) jump thru a diamond shaped window of light!

So dis here RainBow Bridge to God's Lovin plase is real and Kittees and uther love babeez gets ta go dehr!!

Purrs and Huggiez...
