Thank you
I haven't much to say, other than thank you. The flowers were overwhelming,
the notes were beautiful. I read Pam's first letter, and her last. And I also have the services on tape. If anyone would like to hear the letters to Eve being read, I can rip that to an MP3 in the next few days. I have hesitated to mention this because it's been a very private thing. But we do have a lurker in our midst folks, one who has been with us for a couple years. And as far as I know, she's never made a single post to our group. But Tuesday night, the family was notified Eve's funeral has been paid in full, to the last penny by this person. Our decision (when we find her address) is to visit this lady in person and give her a hug. That's been Jody's wish. Mine, one that I requested during the services as I read Pam's welcome letter, is to match this donation in Eve's name to an animal shelter/SPCA/organization. Roughly Eve's costs were $2800, I know we're putting at least half towards a pet charity. I haven't set it up, I haven't even researched the groups and organizations I'd consider but in time, I will. Secondly, Jody's message board has picked up the cost of her memorial stone. When we decide what we want, it's been settled up. All we have to do is pick it out. I'm just.... overwhelmed by the support. There were additional rooms opened just to contain the flowers. So many that they flooded the cemetary and half of my living room is full of live plants and floral arrangements. They're surrounding my baby, and placed on top as deep as I am tall. Our local florists ran out, shipments running all night from two and three hours away just to get new roses in. *shakes head* In time, I'll share what happened. I need to share that. From what I know at least. Love all of you dearly. Grace and family |

Grace,
I hesitated between sending flowers and donating to a cat shelter in Eve's name. I'll be happy to contribute to the matching fund and I'm glad to have contributed to the overflowing flowers. Take care of yourself and let me know if there is anything you need. *hugs* Victor -- Victor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam he Email me he |

People have stopped by to ask what was wrong and I read them this note and there were more tears shed. This is absolutely amazing. We all hear about the evil done in this world, the lies, the cheating, and the hurt - so when we read about something like this it is hard to believe that such goodness, kindness, generosity, and *LOVE* can exist in that same world. I think I know who your "lurker" is, but I'll keep her anonymity. However, she will be added to every prayer I say from now till I die and she will be in every good thought I have for the rest of my life. She will have my eternal gratitude for showing me that there are people like her who share my world with me - that will be my defense against the times of depression I feel when I hear of cruelty or evil. Thank you for sharing this Grace. Purrs are still coming for your family's healing. Hugs, CatNipped |
