As most of you know, the Fredricksons and Porters welcomed a new little member into the family this month! =D New birth is such a joyous occasion; whether it be a baby or someone coming to know the Lord, there is always great rejoicing in Heaven! Yet, as in all things, there is a time and a season for everything under Heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die. August 28th, 2011, while we were at church, Queen Victoria peacefully (I hope) left our lives; to be troubled no more by the small trials of her life.
It was, indeed, a sad day for those of us who were attached to her. Seeing her little lifeless body was too much. I couldn't help but sob. Admittedly, I never really took the time to hold or play with her; but, she was always there to greet me with cheerful chirping at the bottom of the stairs in Summer, or in the heated garage during the Winter.
There is no doubt that some of us will miss her little life.
Her 'crown' is now a 'halo'.
This is not the first time we have had to say goodbye to guinea pigs; Buddy and Rascal have gone before her.
Erik was so kind to do flowers for the burial site.
The final touches
{my camera doesn't do it justice}
O Victoria, we miss you!
Farewell,
Phia
Oh, I'm so sorry, dear! Pets are so special, and it's really sad when they pass on...
