My heart is full with your beautiful sisterly words of comfort and wisdom. We went today and put some of Ellie's ashes by one of her favorite places where the river runs into the ocean. I recalled that one of her final flirtations was with the English touring cyclist who stayed with us recently and it made me smile--she had good taste in men!
My love to you and all of your furry four legged ones.

Helen
