Just visited Barney's candle page (he's up over 30 now), and am glad no one is nearby to see the tears. Lara, you know that hundreds of people will be with you and Barney in spirit and holding you up in prayer tomorrow; you've made everything as good for Barney as you possibly could, and now his life will have an ending with love and dignity and without pain.

I can't begin to tell you how proud I am to know you, even though we'll likely never actually meet -- you are a truly amazing person, and have been a blessing and an example to a lot of people (myself included) as you've gone about your work on behalf of Barney and feral cats. God bless you, sweetheart -- and Scott, too!

Much love,
Diana
