The raging wildfires that killed hundreds of Australians earlier this year could not kill Sam the Koala.
But an illness endemic in the country's koala population did.
♥Sam, the 4-year-old Koala who became famous after she was injured and rescued from the historic wildfires, died Thursday, an Australian wildlife shelter said.
"It is with great sadness today that TressCox Lawyers on behalf of the Southern Ash Wildlife Shelter announce that Sam the Koala has lost her latest fight for survival," the shelter said in a statement. "Sam became a symbol of hope and determination across the nation for both survivors of the black Saturday bush fires and all those that fought and lent support throughout the community."
Sam was catapulted into fame in February when a photograph surfaced showing a firefighter, marked with soot, holding her injured paw and pouring water into her mouth.
As firefighters continued to battle the brush fires that killed more than 200 people and torched 2,000 homes, Sam was taken to Southern Ash Wildlife Shelter to heal from burns on her paws.
Reporters flocked to the wildlife shelter to do update stories on Sam. One story by Australian local television revealed that Sam, short for Samantha, had quickly gained a boyfriend, a Koala named Bob.
Her paws healed but soon she developed ovarian cysts associated with chlamydia, an ailment that affects 50 percent of Australia's koala population, the shelter said.
"Sam had severe changes in her urinary and reproductive tract that was non-operable and unfortunately had to put Sam to sleep," the statement said.
"The changes were consistent with the Chlamydia infection. It was so severe that there was no possible way to be able to manage her pain

Sam captured my heart and I think she deserves her own memorial here on GTS.... Rest in Paradise Sam x x x

My Christmas Tree - by Sharon Wheeler
I’ve just put up my Christmas tree,
Over my rainbow in the sky.
I’ve got hundreds of presents,
So, why do you sit there and cry?
The lights are shining brightly,
My Angel friends are here,
This is going to be the best,
And I love it, don’t you fear.
The tables are set already,
It will be th biggest banquet Christmas Day,
And all my Angel friends and me,
Will be looking down your way.
So when you light your candles,
Just look up to the sky,
For it will brightly shine with ours,
So be happy, please don’t cry.
I can’t wait for Christmas,
Over my rainbow in the sky,
Let’s all enjoy it together,
Instead of the “ifs” and “why’s”
Be happy on this Christmas morn,
I will visit that’s for sure,
And then I shall return to my party,
Behind that rainbows door.

CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
We're wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like
As we grieve alone and pray,
longing for one who has gone before
To spend Christmas in Heaven today..
And so in our dreams we wander far
From the scenes and sounds of earth
‘Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly choir
As they sing of the Christ Child's birth. .
The Angels we envision there
As they join in the festive play
And there amid the throng is our Loved One
Spending Christmas in Heaven today..
There's joy in the faith that teaches
When our life's work is done
Of a place in Heaven awaiting
And the crown we worked for is won..
In our grief may we learn well the lesson
So to work and suffer and pray
As to merit the joys of our loved one
And to spend Christmas together some day.

★ Night Time ★
A Shooting star
Fly's through the sky,
The Moon is Beaming,
Way up High.
The Darkness
Falls all around,
The Night Sky
appears without a sound
The stars begin Twinkling
out some Light,
and our Angels are
Keeping us in there Sight

...Whisper in my ear
*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
For you the tears keep falling
Almost every night
Then you walk into my dreams
And make me feel alright
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
You wrap your wings around me
And whisper in my ear
You tell me that you love me
And that your always near
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Then as the tears start falling
They're gently brushed away
And oh my Angel lifts my heart
When i hear the words they say
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
" Please smile its not forever "
" I promise you one day "
" That i will come and take your hand "
And together we will stay

♥ღ♥ Goodnight Precious Angel ♥ღ♥
I know I am still with you
In your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
♥ღ♥
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
Of life's sweet celebrations
♥ღ♥
In those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
Through our love, we still connect.
♥ღ♥
We'll see each other someday
When our spirits all are free,
♥ღ♥
Until then, I am with you
Because you remember me.
~Sue Tague~
Love Always Liz xxxx
