All Dogs Go to Heaven, it is said.
Last night Birdie went to her new home. A faithful companion and a daily comfort, she gave us all the love that she could muster, especially throughout the darkness of the past year. She alertly sensed our tragic personal loss, and softened this dreadful isolation as well. She always did her eager best, a gentle presence and welcome distraction in our time of need.

Kathleen and Stan
