My dear baby Hershey,
For 15 years you were my friend, my companion, the one who listened to my sorrows, the one who shared my happiness. Too many years, and now you leave a void in my life that I find difficult to spare.
It has only been 3 days and I cannot find comfort about losing you. I know you were in pain, your illness took the best of you and I know now you must be running in green pastures just the way you loved to do.
I know some day I will see you again. But in the mean time help mommy find the peace she needs to go through the rest of my life without you.
I will love you till the end of my days and you will be in my heart in our home forever.
Love you Mommy and Lori
