She is your friend, your partner, your defender,your dog. You are her life, her love, her leader. She will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of her heart. You owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion.

My most beautiful girl has gone, but there is no emptiness.
My hands are full with your wonderful family

My eyes are flooding with tears of unashamed emotion

There is no room left for emptiness
