My dearest and beloved friends,
Today, as I sit down to write this letter, my heart is heavy and my eyes are filled with tears. I want to share with you the news about our precious companion, Zoe Ra Huff-Bathon. Zoe, our sweet soul, has been given the diagnosis of terminal cancer. As we prepare to ensure her comfort and well-being in her final days, a whirlwind of emotions engulfs me.
But in the midst of this devastating news, I am compelled to reflect on the profound and sacred love Zoe has brought into my life during our time together. She has surpassed the role of a mere pet, becoming my confidante, my pillar of support, and my truest friend. From the depths of my being, I want to express my immeasurable gratitude for every single moment we have shared.
Zoe's radiant smile had the power to brighten even the darkest of days. Her playful spirit, evident in her love for swimming and paddle boarding, served as a limitless source of inspiration. She found joy in the simplicity of chasing coconuts on the beach of Miami, her zest for life contagiously spreading to all around her.
To say that I love Zoe would not capture the depths of my affection; she has been my steady foundation, my guiding light throughout every season. Through unwavering loyalty, she demonstrated the true essence of unconditional love. Zoe witnessed my heartbreaks, celebrated my triumphs, and provided endless solace during moments of sadness. In her eyes, I found solace and everlasting companionship.
As we embark on this bittersweet chapter of our journey together, I kindly ask that you join me in commemorating the extraordinary life of Zoe Ra Huff-Bathon. Throughout the years, I have shared my cherished memories of my dear Zoe, and I now invite you to reflect on your own favorites. These will help carry us through this challenging time and uplift my spirit as I prepare to make the weightiest decision of my life. Instead of dwelling solely on the pain of her imminent departure, let us focus on the indescribable joy and love she has infused into our lives. Together, let us treasure the memories and the wisdom she has planted deeply within our hearts.
Zoe, my cherished friend, you will forever be etched into the core of my being, my memories, and my soul. I will hold onto the memories of beach days, the wagging tail, and the unwavering devotion we shared. The long journeys across states to find your final resting home in the beautiful valley of Colorado, overlooking the powerful mountains as your resting space. You have been my everything, an embodiment of boundless love, and an eternal reminder of the beauty life holds each day.
With profound gratitude and an abundance of love, WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH, our beautiful "dogther". We will forever treasure the memories you have gifted US. Thank you for being my guardian angel and our beam of light. We were very blessed.
With all our love,
Jessica M Huff Bathon, Matthew Pillmore & Gavie Pillmore.
