(((((Gabs))))))

When the body that lived at your single will,
When its whimper is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone—wherever it goes—for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog (or cat) to tear.
(From Rudyard Kipling's "Power of the Dog")

Thank you both - but right now I'm not the one that needs the condolences, we've got someone else who is facing this difficult decision who needs the support.
