Kiera Ford

2003 - 2015

On December 30, 2015 Kiera transitioned after a mercifully brief struggle with cancer. She stole our hearts from the moment she came in to our lives with her sweet, loving ways and little quirks. When she left her body she departed hearing loving words, feeling the touch of loving hands and loving kisses.

Kiera was happiest when she was with her "Mum" and everywhere that Kim went, Kiera was sure to go. Car rides, errands, cottages, hikes, picnics, even the odd protest/demonstration or two. Odds are if you saw Kim outside of working hours, Kiera and one of her sisters were in tow. Our Black Angel was a nervous puppy. We worked hard to build her confidence, to show her the world was a friendly place and assure her she would always be protected. She blossomed in to a relaxed, easy-going girl and remained the most pure, innocent, gentle, loving and devoted soul we have ever known. She was a wonderful sister to Chelsea and Willow. She had a special affection for Lulu, who considered Kiera her baby, despite their age difference. Even the cats loved Kiera and spent countless hours snuggled next to her on the sofa.

Kiera's family would be grateful if friends and family would share their memories of Kiera. At this painful time we long to celebrate everything that made her who she was. She is gone from our sight but never from our hearts. Her tired little body is at rest but everything that made her wonderful lives on. Love never dies.
