Thank you everyone for your loving thoughts, prayers & actions. They mean a lot to me. She was my last grandparent I had, there are no more for me. I was exceptionally close to her, and her husband, my grandfather, who has passed away close to 15 years ago now. To say that they will be missed is an understatement.

It wasn't really sinking in yesterday, even though I saw her, she was no longer with us. It is sinking in more & more as time passes. My emotions will get worse before they get better.

Thank you so much Karen, for taking the time to write such a beautiful poem. I will honor it at the service, where it will be displayed on beautiful yellow rose paper, with pretty print. Do you want me to list your name as credit? (I'll pm you and ask there as well).


I am pleased to say that I am taking care of myself as best as I can, in fact I am treating myself to a trip to the dog park tonight. That ALWAYS helps lift my spirits. Don't tell Kaige & Indy that this trip is for me though, they might think I am a little nuts.
