Thank you, friends... as I mentioned privately, I’d be honored by a prayer thread ( God knows, I’ve prayed my black little heart out since I found her dead Monday at 2 AM ) but I may not respond much, or at all. I’m having enough trouble keeping up at Free Dominion, and they have a lot fewer people.

Miss Emily and I were married for 26 years, and since we could not have children, we always had animals.

Long ago, she told me what she wanted for a funeral- a High Episcopal Church service— but she never wrote it down, and damn if I can remember enough to do it.

Besides, her brother— her only relative- seemed to be reluctant to do anything like that...

So...

When we get her ashes back, we are going to gather family and friends in our back yard, and inter her with our other animals buried there, including old Taffy, that you read about three years ago.

Say “An order for burial of the dead at Sea” just because I like the words, and later I am going to get two pieces of pressure treated lumber and hand-carve two markers- one for her, one for Taffy.

She was my Heart...
