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

Yes, I forgot to add that to my post, I too would like to contribute to the
matching fund in Eve's name.

Hugs,

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

Had to laugh at the image of you drowning in flowers, I know its not funny,
but every petal, every leaf, every stalk & every stem of those flowers &
plants says "love". Never doubt that you & you family are loved.

You share whatever you need to share, either with us, or with a
counselor, or with friends, but just talk about it. I wrote a whole
lot just now, and I backed it all out. One day I might rewrite it for
you but not now.

((((((((((Grace))))))))))

You're in my prayers every day, and I wish I could be there to hug you
in person. I'm glad you have help and support; I think I know who
your lurker is, and she will be in my prayers too.

Please let us know when you're ready for the contributions for Eve,
and if there is anything at all we can do for you.
