In honor of one of my Best Friends … My parent’s dog Packer passed away yesterday at age 14. He was a beautiful and loving dog, kind hearted, … Loved to kiss and hug! I was fortunate the last time I was home to be able to say good-bye. He looked at me as I set out to run with this look in his eye .. I knew from that look that he would be joining me again soon on my runs – now his spirit runs free. I love you Packer. Rest in Peace and run, play and romp as you always loved to do! Kristen
One of my best friends, Packer ... I love you Packer.. Rest in Peace, play, and love ... I see your Spirit always!
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

Dearest Kristen,
My heart and sympathy reach out to you, your parents and all those who had such a special relationship with Packer, which is a rare and special gift. Know that the angels will watch over and take care of Packer as he patiently waits on the other side, tossing balls and running through the grass until he reunites with his loved ones. We are all one in spirit, and I send you light and love, and prayers that he is enjoying rainbow bridge with the health and freedom of a puppy, romping and playing, and feeling all of the blessings and love you and your family have bestowed upon him in his lifetime. Big hugs to you Kristen…Love and blessings, Lisa
