Abbey.......
Sunday, 11 July 2010
She left us on Tuesday, when the moon was full.She died with dignity and grace, in the loving arms of her family.....she guided us through, as she has always done. We miss her terribly and feel her here with us.She was beautiful and brave, clever and funny, tender, loyal, passionate, intelligent and strong. She wore her crown, as the
Queen of the Cove, perfectly, guiding us gently yet firmly,and - tho Sally and Emma did not always think so - fairly.These last years, as Abbey's physical self diminished her spirit continued to grow, encomapssing and accepting all that came her way; she added vulnerablity to her many strengths.
All of us learned so much from Abbey - none more than my Dad, whom Abbey, along with Hank, came to live with shortly after my mom's death. The depth of loving companionship they shared brought us all joy, gratitude and peace.

We are so much the better for having known, loved, and been loved by, Abbey.She was, (she is?), an extrordinary beingwho graced us all with her presence.As sadness threatens to overwhelm........the loving and gratitude continue to grow.
