"Don't think of her as gone away-
her journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched....
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and she was loved SO much."

(Poem by E. Brenneman)

We said goodbye to our dear, sweet Beanie girl today, June 16 2005. She was a wonderful gift to our family, and though we had her only 9 short months, we loved her a lifetime's worth. She was the sweetest little girl, and everyone who met her loved her...us most of all. To our darling Beanie girl - we loved you so very much, and we will miss you always.

The Carpenter Family - John, Amy, Erin, and Noah, and Beanie's pug brothers, Reggie, Archie, and Max.
