This is to commemorate those special friends who were a great part of our lives.

This site is periodically posted to the newsgroup alt.society.kindness. As of June 21, 2001, this site has been maintained by Princess Rita who will keep this site for all to see. She will update it as information passes to her and she will cherish it as much as those who have kept this site before her.

 

 

 

Just inside the gates of the Garden are two great plaques, each bearing an inscription. You step closer to read the inscriptions below each of the great plaques.

 

The Rainbow Bridge

 

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 begins 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....

 

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

 

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft star that shines at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there... I did not die.














 

Once you enter the gates of the Garden, you see signposts pointing to the various plots, each made up for the animals residing there.
