life. For this I am grateful. My heart is released from the burden of sadness in knowing that we will be
reunited again when we return to our true home in Heaven. Please help me through my loss with the
understanding and knowing that my pet remains with me in spirit, loving me still as I love them. Thank
you for giving me the time with this divine angel, whom you sent directly from your love. I have truly
been blessed. Amen.
Dear God;
This we know: every living thing is yours and returns to you. As we ponder this mystery we give you
thanks for the life of ________________ and we now commit him/her into your loving hands. Gentle

us all. Holy Creator, give us eyes to see and ears to hear how every living thing speaks to us of your love.
Let us be awestruck at your creation and daily sing your praises. Especially, create within us a spirit of
gratitude for the life of this beloved pet who has lived among us and given us freely of his/her love. Even
in our sorrow we have cause for joy for we know that all creatures who died on earth shall live again in
your new creation. Amen.
