Sweet funny Roadie Roadster you were a legendary spirit who was never in a bad mood despite your abundance of health issues. Thank you for bringing our family so much joy. And thank you AJ for giving her such a safe and loving home these past 4 years with you and Willow. Rest in peace with the rest of Gods creatures.”

My angel…there are so many words to describe you. Joyful, kind, soulful, adventurous, giving and playful. You’re one of the last pieces of my childhood to hang onto and I will continue to do so. Everyone who met you loved you. Every morning you’d greet me with a toy and every night you brought me so much joy as soon as you’d soar onto my bed ready to snuggle up for the evening. Willow and I can’t imagine life without you. Getting home from tour is gonna be incredibly hard but knowing you are free from every ailment that you had brings me peace. I love you Roadie Roadster. Your legacy will live on forever. 6.7.19.

Losing your childhood pet hits such a deep spot in your soul, it’s hard to explain. Hey Honey, it’s been a few hours since you left us. I had to work all day today which was a welcomed distraction, but now that I am in the quiet of my home I am able to sit with my feelings…and it sucks. However, I like to think that you are with me as I write this… Part of me feels so relieved that you aren’t in any pain anymore, but most of me is so upset that you’re gone. I know how lucky we were to have you with us for 19 years but in all that time I never let myself think about life without you. No matter where I was living, I was comforted just knowing you were there and being about to see you on FaceTime. Run wild and pain-free sweet pup, until we meet again… 💔🐾🐕😭 I’m so fucking upset.

Lauren Jauregui

“I’ve put off writing this or even thinking about it too hard, but I feel like there’s no better day than today for celebrating the beautiful, exuberant life that was my little Gracie,” Lauren wrote. “I say this with the heaviest heart you can imagine. Our angel was taken away from us incredibly too soon a few days ago due to a freak accident that caused breathing complications we couldn’t fix. I can’t begin to express the heartache that we feel, nor the joy that this little being of light brought to my life for the short but beautifully abundant time we had together in this world. I will never forget the way she side eyed me on the regular. Her golden, graceful, playful sassy personality. Her comforting delicious cuddles. The way she grunted and huffed whenever she was annoyed with me. The way she looked at me in the morning with more love than I can understand but always reflected. The way she was always such a good girl. It was unbelievable.”

I appreciate your respect and love during this time of deep mourning.”
