Imelda May has shared her heartbreak following the death of her beloved dog Alfie.
The beautiful family pet, who was with them for 13 years, fell ill over the weekend and sadly passed away.
Mourning her canine companion, Imelda said, “My heart is broken. My darling Alfie is gone from us.
“Darrel and I had to make the hardest decision to let him go. He died in our arms and wrapped in Iove. I kissed him and felt his breath on my cheek deepen then fade away. Oh the pain.”
She continued, “My boy, my rock, my companion, my joy… over 13 years of love. I keep sitting in his bed needing to inhale his lovely scent before it’s gone too.
“We’re distraught. Myself. Darrel, Violet, Katie, Niall, Michaela, neighbours, friends, family and all who fell in love with him… there are many!
“The day is empty. Rest in Peace my dearest darling Alfie. My Gent. I will love you forever.”
Our thoughts are with them all. The death of an adored family pet is never easy.
