Shiloh has joined Killian at the bridge

[pitc9]

Sue helped her beloved Shiloh cross to the bridge on Monday to once again be with her brother Killian.

Sue, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.

RIP Shiloh you will be missed.

[finn's mom]

Rest, Shiloh.

Darlin Shiloh,
Please give kisses to Killi at the RB honey.

Sue - you are in my thoughts and prayers.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Today I have the sad mission of reporting that Sue's Shiloh has passed to the Rainbow Bridge. All efforts to ease her suffering were in vain and this Monday Sue had to do what we have dreaded and that is to help her pass to the Rainbow Bridge where there would be no more pain or suffering and she would once again see her beloved brother, Killian.

Sue's computer has crashed and she has not been able to come here to receive the comfort and support of all who have posted. She indicated that she will try when she can to access Pet Talk from the library.

As expected, Sue is devastated and in tears. Her hope for a few months more with Shiloh was not to be. The pain is fresh and her heart is broken in a million pieces. Please keep our dear friend in your prayers so she can make it through these dark days.

Those of us who have known the strong and beautiful Shiloh for these past years will each mourn her passing. She was a heart dog in every sense of the word.

Good-bye Shiloh. You were *one of our own*.

Rest In Eternal Peace, Dear Shiloh.

[Cincy'sMom]

RIP Dear Shiloh. I'm sure your brother was overjoyed to be reunited with you. The two of you need to watch over your dear mom. She will need to feel the two of you helping her through this.

Sue, we are all hear for you. Even though words can't take away your pain, know we are all thinking of you.

I'm so sorry to hear this news about Shiloh. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Play hard at the bridge with Killian, dear Shiloh!

**hugs**

I can only imagine the billion pieces your heart must be shattered into right now Sue. I only wish I could be there to hug you in person and share your tears. I had the thread in DG about Shiloh bookmarked and checked it every day several times, hoping against hope that the conclusion could be happier. I feel so heartbroken and I grieve with you.

Shiloh, I know you are bounding to meet your beloved brother Killian. Both of you will watch over your adored Mommy, waiting patiently for the day of joyous reunion. You will be missed, oh so missed . But you are here in all our hearts, you live on in everyone who knew and loved you both near and far, and especially in Sue's heart who will never, ever forget you, not one single day will go by that she forgets.

A Parting Prayer

Dear Lord, please open your gates
and call St. Francis
to come escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.

Assign her to a place of honor,
for she has been a faithful servant
and has always done her best to please me.

Bless the hands that send her to you,
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing her from pain and suffering.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of her life
with the love she has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor her
by sharing those memories with others.

Let her remember me as well
and let her know that I will always love her.
And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,
please allow her to accompany those
who will bring me home.

Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of her companionship
and for the time we've had together.

And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the strength
to give her to you now.

Amen.
