A tribute to our Pharaoh phriends, now waiting for us at
the bridge...

There is absolutely nothing that I could possibly write to
do justice to my perfect Regal; there are not the words in this, or any other
language, to explain his perfection... He was an amazing individual who tried
hard and excelled at absolutely everything he attempted in his life, and was the
best friend I've ever known. I owe my life to him, so to speak. This
was my "heart dog," and by far my favorite, beyond any doubt.
Had he lived 100 years, it would not have been enough time. Life goes on,
and I've many other remarkable Pharaohs whom I love dearly, but Regal will
always stand a head and shoulders above the rest in my heart.

Dear
Regal,
They
say memories are golden.
Well, maybe that is true.
But I never wanted memories;
I only wanted you.
In
life I loved you dearly,
and in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
that no other could ever fill.
You
know you were my soul mate
and my truest love and friend.
I don't know how, without you now,
my heart will never mend.
A
million times I've needed you,
a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
If tears could build a stairway,
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
I was
blessed to have had your love
for almost thirteen years,
But now anytime I think of you
it brings agony and tears.
So for
now I avoid our memories,
for the pain I cannot bear.
Perhaps someday I'll remember and smile,
instead of wallow in despair.
I am so numb and broken,
and nothing seems the same.
I only hope that Heaven is true,
so we'll be together once again.

A keen huntress, humble beauty, lovingly able
mother, sweet and unassuming pack member, and loyal companion, Nile's life was
full and bright. We are eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to
have her in our lives. Her legacy lives on both in spirit and in her
progeny here at Nefer-Temu. She is sorely missed and will never be
forgotten.

Fragile Circle
"We who
choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our
own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its
awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as
the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."
--Irving Townsend

Her multiple
talents and hard-working, honest character will never be forgotten. Any
person who achieves half as much in their life as she achieved in hers would be
rendered a saint. The manner in which she was lost will haunt my soul
forever, for she deserved so much better. Forgive us, sweet Tiya.
Forgive us. We miss you. Until we meet again...

Goodbye, My Love, Goodbye (by Demis Roussos)
Hear the wind sing a sad, old song
It knows I'm leaving you today
Please don't cry or my heart will break
When I go on my way
Goodbye, my love, goodbye
Goodbye and au revoir
As long as you remember me
I'll never be too far
Goodbye, my love, goodbye
I always will be true
So hold me in your dreams
Till I come back to you
See the stars in the sky above
They'll shine wherever I may roam
I'll pray every lonely night
That soon they'll guide me home |

I will forever be indebted to Noble. He taught me so
much and changed my life forever, as he was the first. His versatility has set the bar high for all that follow
him here at Nefer-Temu.
Until we meet again, my sweet prince...

"Song
for Noble" composed by Emily Kerridge
I wrote this the day
after Noble died. I think the chord progressions (including the occasional
dissonance at the bottom of the 7th chords), modulations, ascending and descending
triplet motives, and "fun loving," quirky
melody line represent Noble's unique personality and perspective on
life. He did things his own way, not always by the book, be it in
the obedience ring, agility ring, or on the coursing field, but it was
always entertaining. He is sorely missed. |
Request From Rainbow Bridge
Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath,
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.
by Constance Jenkins
