Gizmo Padilla

Gizmo, beloved Pit Bull mix, of the Wise family, crossed the Rainbow Bridge, following a terrible accident, Monday, January 30, 2023. She will be missed always.

A Parting Prayer

Dear Lord, please open your gates

And call St. Francis

To come escort this beloved companion

Across the Rainbow Bridge.

Assign her a place of honor,

For she has been a faithful servant

And has always done her best to please me.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.

Help me remember the details of her life

With the love she has shown me.

And grant me the courage to honor her

By sharing those moments with others.

Let her remember me as well

And let her know that I will always love her.

And when it’s my time to pass over

Into your paradise,

Please allow her to accompany those

Who will bring me home.

Thank you, Lord

For the gift of her companionship

And for the time we’ve had together.

And thank you, Lord,

For granting me the strength

To give her to you now.

Amen
