 In Loving Memory of "Roe"

May 9, 1981 - December 13, 2008 

Roe & my oldest son Colton in the summer of 2006.   

It was the summer after I turned 14 when my parents finally gave in & bought me a horse.  I spent weeks searching hundreds of ads looking for the one that was just right & I found Roe.   I doubt that there is a human/animal bond stronger than the one between a teenage girl & the horse she's always dreamed of.  He was greatest gift they ever gave me & my best friend for almost 13 years.  He will forever be missed. 

The Last Ride

God saw that he was getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around him
and whispered, "Come with Me".

With tearful eyes we watched him suffer
and saw him fade away.
Although we couldn't bear to lose him,
we could not bid him to stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working feet were laid to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
