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
