Mary and I thank you all so much for your kind thoughts.

I usually respond individually as soon as possible to comments but when I began to read them, not long after posting my entry, I started to tear up again and decided I had better stay away for a bit.

Sabrina will be missed and house still feels empty. However I do realize that her passing was in the natural order of things. We should all be so lucky as to live in perfect health to an extraordinary age and expire peacefully in the arms of someone who loves us.
