This is our dear Lilly. She was born April 24, 1995, and died July 22, 2007. She was the absolute sweetest little girl ever. I got her when she was just 7 weeks old. When she was a year old, I met the man who is now my husband.

Lilly was there through all of our dating (she was with us most of the time!), flew with us to Arizona when I met his family, and was even in our wedding in April of 1998. Losing her was one of the toughest things we've ever been through.

She developed an aggressive form of cancer that was located in her jaw area. It fused her jaw where she couldn't eat. I must commend the staff at Dove Lewis. They were so awesome with us and with Lilly during her final days.

We love her with all of our heart and can't wait to meet her at the Rainbow Bridge. Shadow was named Shadow because of the way he followed her around. It was very hard on him when she passed, too. In some ways, we feel like Bailey is a part of Lilly. She is very much like her in her demeanor and they have the same eyes. We have so many wonderful memories of Lilly. She was a very special little girl.
