After experiencing severe seizures every hour since 4:00 a.m., Lexi made the journey back to her Creator at 10:50 this morning. A prayer from our wonderful work supervisor and friend , Pastor Evelyn Harris of St. Luke United Methodist Church:
We commend, oh Lord, into your loving care your dear servant Lexi Sandy. Receive, oh Lord, your humble servant who has touched so many lives and reflected your great love for all of your creation. We thank you for her witness in this life and for her life to come, free of pain and diseases, in communion with you and all the saints. Amen
Lexi’s Dad prepared this video in her Memory and Honor (full screen is best viewing for this):
The date and time of Lexi’s memorial service at St.Luke, Chattanooga, TN, will be posted when available.
I cannot begin to express my affection and appreciation to everyone in this blogging community who has laughed with us and prayed with us and cried with us.
I remain, Amy, Lexi’s faithful servant.

We had to stop and add our hugs to this list of yours and Lexi’s friends and fans even though we did not know her……we wish we had – she sounds like a most remarkable and special pup who brought joy, love, and healing to many in her life. Cancer is such a horrible disease that doesn’t care whether it takes the good, the bad, the old or the young……it’s NEVER fair. Lexi apparently never let her diagnosis define her though – bringing love to all who knew her until she left to wait at the Bridge for you to join her one day. I just wanted to say we know the sadness in your hearts and wish we’d gotten to know Lexi. The video was so touching and sweet……
Love, Pam and Sammy

Dear Lexi’s mom,
We are so sorry to hear Lexi crossed over the rainbow bridge today. Well, let’s me rephrase that. We’re so sorry she had to leave her humans and her friends. We’re glad she’s off to a new start somewhere, and wherever that is, it is wonderful. There’s no words that can bring her back, but there are stories of her love and joy that will bring back her memories and the happiness that comes with anything that has to do with Lexi.
Always here for you,

Mom Kim here – I pray that Angel Shiloh was there to greet Angel Lexi as she arrived at the Rainbow Bridge. She truly was an all-around amazing little dog and such a great furrend to many, many people – adults and children. When my Angel Shiloh left for the Rainbow Bridge, I prayed that he would have an endless number of those to visit in the hospitals, nursing homes and libraries to visit – his love for that was the one thing he enjoyed doing the most – outside of wandering the neighborhoods on his own(unplanned)-
I pray the same for Lexi. I pray for her to have all kinds of acting and dancing opportunities – it’s clear she loved it. Most of all, I pray for you to find peace and sunshine in your heart thinking of all the happy memories you have of Lexi and feel honored to have been able to share such a happy and loving little dog like Lexi.
RIP dear little Lexi – now you are flying high, beyond the clouds, up to the rainbows.

The video tribute was so beautiful. I was trying to be very strong and it was sort of working until I saw the picture of us dancing. Thank you for sharing Lexi with me and all of the blogging community. Our lives are all better having known her (and you). She fought very hard and was the bravest girl in the world. I think she learned a thing or two from the kids she’d helped.
Today is a very sad day. I wish I were there to give you real ear licks. Mom says they’re magical.

Hi Amy
She is now at peace having left a legacy that exceeds many humans, even with their extended lifespans! What with her acting debut, her therapy work, her world wide exposure courtesy of Blogging, and she is even recorded for posterity in a book … she lead a very full and productive life.
We have only known you “guys” for a relatively short time but already have many happy memories of Lexi based on your stories about her. Please accept our sincere condolences, and we will hope and pray that life without Lexi can be compensated in some small way by the many happy memories you must have from sharing yourselves with her.
She is no doubt chilling out somewhere knowing that she had “a good run”, and is also probably hoping that her leaving is not going to cause too much extended anguish!
RIP Lexi … you were one very special little dog.
All the best Amy, and take care. Our thoughts are with you. Colin & Carol, and of course Ray!

I also can’t hit “like” and I can barely bring myself to write through my tears. I have a lump in my throat the size of a grapefruit. I am one who didn’t meet Lexi til this year and when I watched this video my heart just broke into a million pieces. Not only was Lexi adorable, but the life that she lived, the love that she gave back to so many, her service to others who needed love and smiles are things that will never die. They will be remembered for eternity. I am confident there is a Doggy Heaven, and I am also confident that Lexi has a place of honor just for her. I wish I had known her longer but I am glad that I at least get to follow her. The video was just incredible. I don’t have the words for the depths of my sorrow……wish I could give you all hugs and just sit quietly or listen to you share more memories. I am so deeply, deeply sorry…………Lexi might have been a little dog, but the impact she made on thousands was enormous. Sending prayers, love and sympathy to all of you.
