Pet Memorial Poems & Longer Sayings

A Family Dog Changes a Family-
You’ve changed our family forever
And left paw prints on our hearts
We have learned lessons of kindness,
Love, and patience through your gentle
And unselfish ways. We will never forget you.

We couldn't have had a better Friend
At the Rainbow Bridge we'll see you Again

Faith-Based Pet Memorial Wording

‘I believe that heaven is a perfect place, and if my dog needs to be there for it to be perfect, then she’ll be there.' – Billy Graham

To make Heaven
the perfect place
for loved ones we adore,
God made sure those Pearly Gates
contained a doggy door.

Gentle and kind,
Faithful and True,
Our lives will not be
The same without you.
But we have the comfort
Of knowing each day,
We'll see you again and
In Heaven you'll play.

Not sure what will fit? You don’t need to create the layout yourself.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

Colossians 3:12-15 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
