Fiona passed today

Fiona, my companion, best friend, protector and special friend passed away this morning. She was lying on my bed next to me when it happened. She was in pain and I told her that it was okay, she didn't need to protect me anymore. I said she can go, be free of pain and be with her older sisters and brother.

I knew she had a tumor pushing on her lungs and didn't expect her to live past October 1. On New Year's Day she would have been 15. 1/1/11 she was brought into this world. The best miniature schnauzer I've ever known.

Every day with her was a blessing. She made me laugh so much and after I had surgery last year she sat near me always looking out to protect me.

Fiona, I don't have the words to describe how much I love you. I saw the love in your eyes and I can still see it now. You have a piece of my heart. That part may be missing not I'm glad I have it to you. I'm so glad the pain is gone and I can see you running around with the doodles, playing, chasing with that big smile on your face. I already miss you and life will not be the same without you. The last 15 years of my life with you have been a blessing. From the first time I saw you I knew you were special. You made wherever I lived home. The house now is quiet and it will never be the same without you. Say hello to Sasha, Dundee and Chaney for me.

I love you little girl and want you to know that Quincy already misses you. I promise to take care of him and together we will get thru the mourning. I know you can see the smile on my face just thinking of you. The next time I take out the potato chips I promise I'll hold some to the side for you.

FIONA. 1/1/2011 to 11/28/2025

I love you
