Joanne and Ron, we are truly heartbroken for you. Lylee was such a beautiful girl; she was everything a TWP should be-- beautiful, brave, and full of life. I'll miss reading about her adventures. Run free Lylee, you have certainly earned those wings. You are in our thoughts.

Joanne & Ron, we are so sorry to hear Lylee has gone on. We'll never forget the first time we saw her; we had parked along the curb at Mill Valley Dog Park, and you were just ahead of us. We saw Lylee hop out of the car, you put her sparkly pink cape on her, and away she went to have some fun! We are so privileged to have been able to meet Lylee at the Nor Cal pawties. She was a special girl, and she will always have a special place in our hearts. She will be remembered forever. Sending healing thoughts to you and Ron.
Diane & John

I'm so sorry to read that Lylee has passed. I read many of your posts and saw the love you have for her. She fought her battle while maintaining her grace and beauty -- a true princess. She is another bright star in the heavens.

Oh, dear sweet Lylee. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. You were such a bright, shining tripawd girl and we will miss you so! Sending warm, kind, healing thoughts to your pawrents.

Haven't visited the forum for a while. So sad to read you've lost your dog. Fantastic she fought cancer for over a year, but when the time comes when our loved dogs have to go it is still so very sad. Sending thoughts and hugs to you./Gunilla, Penny and Wilbur

Joanne and Ron,
I am so very sorry to hear that Lylee's adventures here on earth have come to an end. There's just never enough time...we want them to be with us, here by our side, forever but we know that the day will come.... Lylee will always play in your heart and memories, so she WILL be with you...your beautiful angel.
The gut-punch of this devastating loss will at times seem like more than you can bear, but together you will make your way down this grief path, armed with the strength and love that Lylee taught you.
Time will soften the rough edges of pain and I guarantee that time will also sweeten the memories you've made with your most beautiful Tripawd Warrior Princess.
sending you both hugs and thoughts for healing, strength and peace....
Anita, mom to Xena & Roger and my angels, Spammy & Chloe
Oh Lylee girl, you lived a beautiful life! Joanne, I'm so sorry for what you are going through...wishing you strength. xoxo Sue
