Re: Effie has her angel's wings
Del, I'm so sorry to hear about both of your losses. I know you must be going through a bad time right now adjusting. I'm sure it's comforting to know that your friend Liz will be there for Effie though. I'm sure you have other fur angels who will be there as well for Liz and Effie. Take care of yourself. tonyaDel Daniels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Effie left us this morning and my friend, Liz, who passed away last week, is taking care of her in heaven.

Re: Effie has her angel's wings
I am really sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a good friend. I noticed in another email you mentioned that it was like Effie was there with you. I do believe that those times that you see them out of the corner of your eye or sense them walk by -that they are really there with you in spirit, watching over you happliy.

Re: Effie has her angel's wings
Dear Del, How sorry I am to hear that Effie has left you. We all know how hard it is; the hardest thing in life, it seems. She's free of pain and happy now, surely with your friend Liz. I'm sorry for your loss of Liz, as well, but I hope you can find comfort in knowing they are together and in the special memories you have of each of them. Sending a big, big hug your way. Take care of yourself. Love, Julie Del Daniels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Effie left us this morning and my friend, Liz, who passed away last week, is taking care of her in heaven.

Re: Effie has her angel's wings
Del Please accept my heartfelt condolences in the passing of your precious Effie. She was so fortunate to have your forever, loving home and you were fortunate to have her loving, precious presence to add wonderful things to your life. They all teach us something I am sure. I know that my life is always richer for loving and caring for a precious being who nobody else wants. Please accept my sympathy in the loss of your good friend, Liz. I, too, had a wonderful friend named Liz who passed on last week. She was a bright, intelligent, animal loving free spirit who touched everyone she ever met. I'm sure your friend Liz was the same to you. Isn't it wonderful that she can be there at the Bridge to show Effie the ropes while they both await your arrival? Effie and Liz are truly 'Shining New Angels." I hope the following helps somewhat to ease your grief. Listen closely.. S.. there! did you hear that? just the softest rustle. a little breeze just barely moving the leaves on that tree over there? No.. close.but somehow not. The sound, more felt than heard when you walk barefoot thru soft grass in summer? No.. This was even more wonderful than those yet, sad too as it will never be heard again..this way The sound of a shining new angel taking flight -- Brenda. http://www.whiskersandwicks.com http://www.cheqnet.net/~bksmith "The only risk you ever run in befriending a cat is enriching yourself." - Colette Don't Take Your Organs To Heaven.

RE: Effie has her angel's wings
Del, I am so very sorry for Effie’s passing – I am sure that there isn’t really any words which can totally heal your pains – and I am crying with you though I don’t anything about Effie, but I know that she was and is such a special soul for you. I read a poem one time somewhere – it says something like “if a life is a journey, death is our destiny” – which brought me a very interesting perspective about “life” and death – We are all on the way to our destiny, and some gets there sooner than others – we want lives of our beloved animals to be as long and enjoyable possible – but eventually, we are all going to go to the same place (in my mind) – I am hoping that all my animals who left me first are waiting for me there if they did not already come back as another life – it’s certainly more difficult for us who are left here to deal with the pain than the ones who leave us perhaps – but please know that Effie’s is at a better place now, where there is no more pain – but her soul is still here with you – and she knows you love her and you miss her, and she returns you the same.

aw, del, i'm so sorry. effie, thank you for sharing your life with us all! MC
Re: Effie has her angel's wings
Del, I am so so sorry. Like Simon, Effie has been followed so closely by this list that I, and I bet others, feel like I knew her. I am very sad to hear she is gone. She had a long run with the cancer, which is amazing, but it does not make the end any easier. Michelle
RE: Effie has her angel's wings
Title: Message I'm so sorry for your double loss, Del. I know how very painful it must be for you. I feel I had come to know Effie a little through your emails, and I hope the sweet memories you have of your little furball will give you comfort in the difficult days to come. Effie was one lucky and smart little kitty to have found you. She couldn't have chosen a better friend and advocate.
