Like other posters have already mentioned, I wish today for the talent to write one of those famous original poems to honor Miss Hoppy. Yet when I read Catty's offering, I knew that the best tribute had already been given. I hope she will allow our to be added to her inspired thoughts.

Karen and Paul, you know we grieve a bit with you, even if we cannot imagine the totality of your grief. I am sorry for your loss, yet celebrate the many years you had the fortune to share with Miss Hoppy.

I'm posting here a request of Miss Hoppy, now free to run free. If you deem to make any stops on your way to the Rainbow Bridge, know that you have a special invitation here. Note: I have a little dish of raising sitting on the counter.
