    This card collection of wonderful, light-hearted, spiritual, and amusing quotes transported us to times of sweet togetherness with our beautiful, sweet fur baby, Rosie. Most of the cards reminded us of specific, special, and poignant moments over the years. We started writing these memories on the back of the very card that inspired each memory! Now, we have captured the most special moments of our time together, keeping Rosie even closer in our hearts as time goes by. Thank you, Dezire to Inspire, for making this possible for us. Rosie’s legacy lives on!!!!!!
