Goodbye Riley Marie Tomlinson - 1/15/00-5/5/08

Riley-
We loved you on Earth for 8 years, 1 month, and 20 days and we will love you for eternity. You came into our lives on March 15, 2000 and left this world today, May 5, 2008. In that time you brought us more love, laughter and joy than we could have ever imagined. Every kiss, every wiggly butt, everything you did brought a smile to our face. You loved life so much-everything about it-walks, car rides, CHEESE, your grandparents, Emma, and most of all Mommy and Daddy. From a snuggle anywhere in the house, to being outside, you were most happy when you were with us, and so were we. Our hearts are breaking right now, knowing that you are not physically with us. The house is so empty without you and always will be. Nothing will be the same again, everything we do we will be reminded that we wish you were here to share it with us. But we did what was best for you, we ended your suffering. Your body wasn't the same and you were telling us it was time to go. So we let you go, I know you are happy and pain free right now, running around with Cloey. Keep watch over us, we know you will always be with us. Daddy and I will miss you everyday until we are together again. Run free, baby girl, you loved us unconditionally for your whole life, and we love you so much too, I hope you realize that. Our memories will last us a lifetime, keep watch for us on the Rainbow Bridge, we will someday meet again. We love you and miss you Riley!!

Gina,

So, so sorry.........I know how you feel right now......no words can help, so just know that you're in my thoughts.

Rest in peace little Riley,

[Xena's Daddy]

P.S. CHEESE......LOL!!!

[Bear's mommy]

I am so, so sorry that this dreaded day has come. I read about Riley and all of the other OS "kids" in the "vet thread" everyday and saw your pictures of Riley. She is such a beautiful girl. She is so lucky to have had such wonderful parents. My heart sank when I read that you were taking your final trip to the vet today, but you did what was best for her.

I know the pain is unbearable as we had to make this awful decision in February. I still cry at just the thought of him, but mostly now I can think clearly enough to remember all of the good times and the wonderful smiles he brought to our face, and I know with time you will be able to do this too.

Riley is now pain free and running and playing at the bridge until she meets you again. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. RIP Riley.

Oh, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. From your previous posts to the pictures you've posted, it is obvious how much you loved and took care of your girl.

It is the most painful decision we make when we decide to let them go, but it is also the last loving and unselfish thing as well. You loved your girl unconditionally and she loved you the very same way. You were very blessed to have had each other.

Rip sweet Riley girl.

[AngelBunny]

I am so sorry, so very sorry. I hope you find comfort in knowing she lived the best life she could have had because she was your girl.

My condolances.

Gina-
My heart is breaking for you and I am crying like a baby right now. Please forgive me if I make this brief, but Riley's passing is very real to me personally. Just know that I am holding you and your family up in prayer. Riley was so fortunate to have such a warm and loving home. I loved the picture of her sitting on the Ralph Lauren towel you just posted!!! Our baby dogs are so spoiled. Run free little Riley. Prepare a place for Lucas in Heaven with you and Xena. I am so glad that he will have two beautiful "girls" waiting for him. My love and prayers to you. Laurie

We lost our little Luther 6 days ago, and I understand what you mean about the house feeling empty.

Rest easy Miss Riley, and thank you for leaving behind such sweet memories for your family to hold on to. It sounds like you were a very special girl.


Good girl, Riley.

My heart just hurts so much for you and your family right now. I am so sorry about Riley, but know that giving her peace is the kindest and most loving thing any of us can ever do for our pets.

I know that my decision with Jaxx is not to far away but it seems he will be in the best of company.

I am holding you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. God speed Riley
