LULU. I Love You.
This Memorial is DEDICATED TO ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL, and THE BLESSED SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES.
Saint Martin de Porres - Patron of The Suffering and Animals, (the Saint for Our Times) - please
Bless and Heal all on here. Thank you.
Lulu had been abandoned & appallingly mistreated until I found her in a Rescue Centre. She was
terrified of People but gradually came to trust me, following me everywhere. She was my Best Friend,
loyal and constant companion. Initially, I missed her desperately, and was distraught. With my
entire Family on the other side of the World, Lulu was not 'just a Cat'. She was my Family. We were
a Unit, and still are:)
Lulu had the most mesmerising luminescent silvery-blue eyes. Her Fur is Snow White, and she was so
Fluffy, Adorable & Sweet. One of the most beautiful Cats most had ever seen, (the 'Marilyn Monroe'
of Cats many said, smilingly) with a gentle and wonderful temperament in equal measure.
Lulu is the great love of my love - strange as that may sound to many. You may have surmised I am a
besotted Animal Lover! All kindred spirits will understand:)
She was so very, very special and blessed. How we came to meet, is quite an account, in itself,
actually. It was definitely ‘meant to be'!
She was with me through several Family deaths, my Cousin's suicide, two Friends' deaths, when my
Parents and deceased Grandparents' beloved Pets and Homes were completely destroyed by fire,
together with a few Relatives who had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Throughout it all, she comforted me and provided constant loyalty and unconditional love. Thank you
so much, Lulu. You are an Angel.
I was being 'tested' as we all are in this Earthly Life, and it was a particularly horrific time.
You provided infinite and much needed succour, precious one.
Lulu-Poppy suddenly and very unexpectedly, died of an embolism on 10th August 2008. Very sadly, I
never got to say Goodbye, plunging me into total shock. My last image of her was all curled up in a
small white box at the Veterinarian Hospital, dead.
However, I have healed now, and feel nothing but Joy, and Peace when I think of, and sense Lulu
around:)
Thank you very much to those who have left Tributes and/or lit Candles.

Summerlands
Just the other side of death's curtain are the Summerlands. All the pets who have died go through this curtain and though they can still watch us, we can't see them. Sometimes the curtain is thin in places and we catch a glimpse of our lost companion waiting on the other side. Sometimes the curtain twitches as they look through at us and we can feel them or feel a sudden draft as the curtain falls back into place. The Summerlands exist in the long, lazy late afternoons of an eternal golden summer of remembered childhood; the time when everything seems most alive and sweetest smelling. Our animals are young again and turned to perfect health. There is always space and time to play and love, places to be with others and places to be alone together. When our time comes, the curtain is lifted from our eyes and we can see the Summerlands ourselves. Waiting there for us are the animals and people we loved in life and we can see them clearly at last. The time has come for us to move away from the curtain and renew these interrupted friendships. Sometimes we can't help but take a peek through the curtain just to see how our own loved ones are doing before they come to join us.

I Thought of You Today.
I woke early this morning, lifted the shade
to a sky overcast and gray.
No ray of sun to brighten my heart,
and I thought of you today.
The breezes of summer are no more
and have moved along on their way.
The crisp air of autumn has settled in,
and I thought of you today.
The crunch of the leaves under my feet,
I remembered how you loved to play,
chasing the leaves across the yard,
and I thought of you today.
As the daylight faded into dusk
and the shadows came to play,
I lit a candle and watched the flame dance,
and I thought of you today.
I crawled into bed, turned out the lamp
and glanced where you used to lay.
The tears came again, as they always do,
as I thought of you today.

~ Snow ~
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The snow arrived unannounced.
It overwhelmed everything.
Changed the landscape so it was unrecognisable.
No one was prepared.
My grief feels like that snowstorm.
I feel changed, weighed down by the burden.
Trying to negotiate the new environment around me.
Not knowing where I am going.
Looking for familiar landmarks.
I feel cold and miserable and ill equipped in this new place unvisited before.
But I know in time the snow will melt and return the landscape to some semblance of normality.
And I know in time my grief will diminish and I will find my way forward again, back to a world that I recognise, changed, but familiar.
Spring does always come after winter and hope will return.

Magic Of A Rainbow
I'll never see a rainbow
That I won't think of you;
Though days seem bleak and dreary
The sun is shining through.
A symbol of God's love fulfilled
In beauty, hope and grace;
A rainbow is a mirror
Reflecting His own face.
It arches o'er the mountains
With Heaven its domain;
Its brilliant colors wakened by
The grayness and the rain.
Now may I see the rainbows sent
To ease my broken heart,
Promising His healing love,
Shine through when teardrops start.
Miraculous, magical rainbows,
Blessing the sadness with peace;
God gently smiling and touching,
Bidding the sadness cease.

Where Peace Flows Like a River.
Together we will journey
To that land up in the sky
Where the flame does burn eternal
And the soul does never die.
Where the harps are gently playing
As a host of angels sing
Where the road is paved with diamonds
And the golden bells do ring.
Where the path is set before us
Shining brightly as the sun
We will see the face of Jesus
When our final race is run.
Where the peace flows like a river
Winding through the streets of gold
We will dine with priests and prophets
When the key to life, we hold.
Where the flame does burn eternal
In that sacred Promised Land
Where God holds the gift of freedom
In the cleft of His right hand.
Where we'll see the face of loved ones
Long before us, gone away
What a day of sweet rejoicing
When we meet again someday.
Where we'll gather at the river
In our home up in the sky
Where the peace flows like a fountain
And the soul does never die.

♥ From Water Bug to Dragonfly ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The bottom of the pond is muddy and dark
There is fear of the unknown
There is loneliness as things change
There is the desperation of being left behind
Not knowing, not understanding
Watching and waiting
Then the journey comes
Up the stem
What waits beyond?
Sunlight
Freedom
Dancing together in joy with those who went before
And who will come after.

Prayer of Faith.
We trust that beyond absence there is a presence.
That beyond the pain there can be healing.
That beyond the brokenness there can be wholeness.
That beyond the anger there may be peace.
That beyond the hurting there may be forgiveness.
That beyond the silence there may be the word.
That beyond the word there may be understanding.
That through understanding there is love.

*** Love to you and your Angel from Mel. ***
♥ Only we who grieve ♥
♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.
