First, I want to thank everyone that took the time to write me when I lost
Faith and Hope.  I hope I have now answered everyone that wrote me messages
of sympathy when I lost Hope, but if I missed someone, please forgive me.
I am so sorry that this has taken me so long to write but I have been sick
and her loss hurt so much that I couldn't even read most of the messages
until recently.
 
Second, I want to tell everyone that by the grace of God, Hope and a very
special friend I have a new baby.  Her name is Constance and she is such a
sweet.  She loves to be held and patted even though she is only 8 weeks
old.  She is a black mink color and almost never bites.  She does love to
chew on my fingers, but she doesn't bite down.
 
The day after I lost Hope, I talked to another member of our group and
asked her about where she purchased her babies.  Later that evening I got
home and she had left a message for me to call her.  She had went out and
purchased Constance for me.  We had never met each other before, even
though we had tried several times.  She not only got Constance Jo, middle
name is after her and her daughter, but she had me and Tom for dinner when
we went up to pick her up.  It was so nice to finally meet her face to
face.  I didn't think there would ever be another ferret that could be as
cuddly as Hope, but so far, Constance is making a lire out of me.  I am
glad to me made a lire about something like this.
 
I just wanted to share my story to let everyone on this mailing list know
that not only do we get good advice, but we make friends, of which one
could become you Guardian Angle.  I am so elated that I found my Guardian
Angle from this list.  I would love to shout her name from the roof top,
but I don't think she would like that.
 
I have seen both Faith and Hope not only in Constance, but in all my
babies, like Generosity biting my ear just like Faith, when had bitten me
on the ear before..  It is like they are whispering things to them to
remind me that they are around at OK waiting on us all at the rainbow
bridge.
 
I am sure I have missed a lot of happenings on the list, because I am so
far behind, that I will never get caught up.  I just want to let all of
you know that I have been thinking about you and that I cherish all of
you, especially my Guardian Angle.
 
Phyllis and the Wigglies, Charrity, Generosity, Grace and Constance
Always in Loving Memory of Faith and Hope
