Forever Loved

Prancie left us at 1:30 PM today. I was stuck at jury duty and didn’t get home until 12:30, but she waited for me. David kept telling her I would be home soon. I am thankful for the 15 wonderful years she was with us. She was the sweetest girl and so full of personality.

She had been declining since last week and we wondered if she would make it to her Dad’s birthday which she did. Our world will never be the same without her, she was such a big part of our lives.

We were so blessed to have one last Christmas with her.

Rest in Peace sweet girl until we are together again.

Thank you to Pam and Ingrid for the beautiful badges.

I won’t be blogging for a while. Thank you for understanding.

  23. I’m so sorry. We love Prancie. I’m trying to remember if it was she and Phoebe who were close? If so, I bet they had a wonderful reunion. Prancie was definitely a Daddy’s girl and knew he’d give her a bit of whatever he had if she waited patiently 🙂

  24. I totally understand your loss and need to stop blogging for awhile. I went through that with the loss of my beloved 18 year old Ali. It took getting a darling kitten to break me out of my funk and blog again. Take your time to grieve, We all understand and support you with prayers, hugs and POTP. With deepest sympathy, Angela and Bunty

  25. My heart is broken right along with yours………Prancie had the best life with you and I’m so happy you and David were with her when she left it. You know that I am sending you hugs and love and I hope the coming days can give you some comfort knowing Prancie LIVED in love and LEFT in love.

    Hugs, Pam and Teddy

  26. Oh dear, purrs and hugs from me and dad, dear Ellen. We’re so sorry to hear about Prancie. Dad especially feels for you and says he knows just how it feels. Take care of yourself.

  27. Ellen, my heart is yet again breaking for you. Prancie lived a wonderful life filled with love and comfort thanks to you. She was so very blessed to have you, and she will always be with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  28. So sorry to read this sad and painful news about Prancie. I hope you can find some comfort in the warm memories of a beautiful cat. My thoughts are with you, Ellen. Sending you hugs.

  29. My heart is broken. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I hope you can eventually find comfort in the many wonderful years you had together and all the amazing memories you have of Prancie. Sending love

  30. Ellen I am so very very sorry about Prancie. She was your soul and inspiration I know and you portrayed her on the blog and in Prancie’s Prayers purrfectily
    Thank goodness you got home to be with her.

  31. I am deeply sorry to learn Prancie has gone to the Bridge. It is one of the hardest things we deal with- to reconcile ourselves with their loss. Each day is a new day to pull together strength to make it through.

    I am grateful your little one waited for you. Hugs and love to you and your husband. We all understand where you are, and how you feel. Please accept my deepest condolences. Much love.

  32. My heart breaks with you and David at the loss of Prancie. I loved her and I am just so lucky to have read her story and that you have shared so much of the kitty that Prancie was. I am thankful you were able to make it home in time to be with her. I will be thinking about you and David more than you know. Prancie is at rest and peace. But oh my she is going to be so missed by so many. She was a kitty that lived a life with people that loved and respected her so much.♥

  33. I sent you an email but also wanted to leave our deep condolences here. Our hearts are with you, Prancie was such a beautiful girl. She will live forever in your hearts and through her book as well. ♥

  34. Ellen, I’m so sorry for your loss. From the photos I’ve seen of Prancie, I know you have wonderful memories of her. She was lucky to have had such a loving home for all these years. Hugs.

  35. I am terribly sorry, Ellen, for your loss. I know how much you loved Prancie. I hope you find peace and solace in all the wonderful memories the two of your shared. We will always dearly remember her.
    xoxo
    Love,

  36. Ellen,

    I’m sooo sorry to read of Prancie’s passing. My heart aches for you guys! There’s been way too much loss on your end. You’re such a sweet compassionate person to care for these small critters. I know their lives are made better because of you and the hubby. God bless you, darlin’!

    1. Thank you. We lost 3 cats in 4 months, 4 in one year- so much sadness, but I am thankful for every minute I had with them. XO

  37. I’m so sorry for your loss, Ellen. I’m so happy you were with here when she went to the bridge. A comfort for her and a huge comfort for you. Big healing hugs my friend. ♥

  38. Take your time, Ellen. These things are excruciatig for a while. I understand. My Coolidge died in a seizure in my arms. Vic and I buried him on our property. It was horrible, but I took our vet’s advice to get another cat right away. We got Effie that evening. Joy resumed.

  39. Oh I’m so sorry to hear your sweet Peancie left for bridge. I’m grateful she could celebrate her dad’s birthday this year and wait for you to come home, and grateful for all there happy years she spent with her forever family.
    My thoughts are with you.

  40. Godspeed your journey to heaven Prancie ♥♥♥♥♥ We all are truly sorry and we send hugs and loves not only to you, but to mom, dad, and the family you left behind.

    If it’s any comfort, I hope mom and dad know, St Francis stayed by your side every step of the way until you reached heaven’s gate. May they find peace in their hearts in the coming days; we understand it’s NOT been an easy year ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~♥♥♥♥♥

  41. I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. Thank goodness you were able to be there with her at the end. She will live forever in her book and the hearts of all who loved her.

  42. Oh Ellen & family I am so sorry for you all. Prancie held on til you came home; she loved you so much & I KNOW how much you loved her. She was a one-in-a-million kitty girl & will never be forgotten.
    Please take care of yourself & each other. Take all the time you need. We are here for you.
    With love & {{{hugs}}} Sherri-Ellen & quiet **purrsss** BellaDharma

  43. Stopping by from sweet Pam’s blog to offer my heartfelt sympathy. As all of us who have ever been loved by a sweet furbaby know, the pain is just nearly unbearable. Thinking of you.

  44. Oh Ellen, I echo all the sentiments about Prancie. It never gets any easier, does it? You have my whole-hearted sympathies (and empathies) for your loss. May your memories always bring a smile to your face when you think of her. She will certainly be Forever Loved.

  45. I’m so sorry for your loss. I know you were expecting it sometime but the time is never right. At least you could be with her. Please take care of yourself and don’t worry about posting for the time.

  46. May my hugs still your pain. If only they would help you right now as this is all I can give you my friend. Words seem useless at this time. Prancie is in fine company,

    Jean

  52. We are so sorry to learn about this sad news. We haven’t been around (again) and we are extra sad because you left a comment saying that Prancie was enjoying a sunpuddle too, a mere week or so before she passed. Their time with us is just never enough. Cody and I are so deeply, deeply sorry. You have had far too much loss last year and now this year. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

  53. Oh Ellen, we are so very sorry to hear of Prancie’s passing, we know that this is a huge loss for you and your family. Sending you our gentlest purrs and holding you in our thoughts and hearts. Be Well Sweet Prancie.
