Duke White

“Yesterday, we said goodbye to our goodest boy, Duke. He was so tired and ready to rest. However, he would have held on as long as we asked him and his body would’ve allowed him. Duke came into our lives only 2 years ago, almost to the day, but he stole our hearts, as well as the hearts of everyone who met him. He was fortunate enough to have more than one family in his life that loved him with all their hearts. Thank you, Vikki, for being there for me and Duke in our time of need. He loved you SO much!! Visit me in my dreams, sweet boy! Until we meet again “

God looked around his garden And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew there might be pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone… For part of us went with you The day God called you home.
