Dear Chrisi,
You have been at the Bridge for almost 5 years now...and especially at this time of year (in which you were named for) I cherish the memory of when you came to me!!! It was a cold and wet December 14th in 1984 and you were only 3 mos. old...shaking in front of the glass doors at my office! The guys kept telling me to bring you in but I was afraid Wayne (the big boss) would get mad! Then Wayne came and saw you and brought you inside!!! We got paper towels and dried you off. Then Wayne gave me $20 to go to the Piggly Wiggly and get you some food! You came home with me that night and we began the most wonderful relationship for over 13 years! ;)
You had to go to the Bridge when you were still a pup in my eyes....and I still think of you every day! Your picture is on the bakers rack with our Christmas decorations. I have Mack & Jack now and they know all about you! You were "Mama's Girl"...and will be forever!
So through my tears I say to you my Darlin' Girl... I love you... always have...always will!!!! I miss you terribly and wish you were near..but I know God wanted to have you back in heaven! I have a little statue that looks just like you...but with Angel wings.... :)
I'll see you soon my girl....come meet me at the Bridge!!!!!
God take care of you until Mama can get there!!!!
Merry Christmas my Chrisi...my BEST FRIEND and Darlin' Girl!!!!
Mama Gwen (oh... and your new brothers, Mack & Jack, say Merry Christmas too!!!) All our love my Chrisi Angel!!!!!
