Coco

December 18, 2005 – March 14, 2011

Coco came into our lives as a very scared pug, unwanted by her original owner. Over the time that she graced our lives, Coco bloomed into a beautiful, loving companion to our entire family. She and my daughter Erin participated for three years in 4-H, where they placed Reserve Grand Champion in their first year. Coco and Carla went through certification for Coco to become a therapy dog, as well.

Coco ministered that love that she had for others for as long as she could. We lost our Coco very unexpectedly, and for us, way too soon. She has left a huge hole in my heart, and part of me died when Coco died. We miss Coco dearly but know that she is no longer in pain and is now chasing butterflies over the rainbow bridge. I look forward to the day that she will be greeting us on the other side.

Coco’s companions who are still with us: Baby-Girl (pug) & Bullwinkle (Boston terrier).

– Love always and forever, Carla, Michael, and Erin Griffin
