My beautiful baby girl, you have no idea how much I miss you.  The house is too quiet when 
I get home after work, your pretty smiley face isn’t there to greet me when I walk in and 
there is no nose for me to kiss.  You were the neighborhood sweetheart and they have all 
told me how sad they are that you aren’t here anymore to greet them and entertain them.  
I look at your pictures so often and remember how good you smelled, what a funny girl you 
were and how you loved everyone.  The boys and I talk often about how sweet and cute you 
were when we got you at 7 weeks.  You looked just like a polar bear cub and how you cried 
those first nights.  You were so naughty sometimes—digging holes in the yard, running like 
the wind when you would get out of the yard and chewing up kleenex all over the house—but 
you always made us laugh and so happy we had you.  Next summer will not be the same when 
the top comes down on the convertible and you aren’t there to go on rides with me.  You made 
everyone smile when you sat in the back seat with your face in the wind enjoying the ride.  
I was fortunate to have you longer than I ever expected and it was so hard to let you go but 
I know you are running and playing again just you did when you were a puppy.  You’ll live in 
our hearts forever, Hanna Banna Cocoa Banna.

Love, (Mom) Linda, Brady and Andrew
