When ever I have read the story, I hve always read that it was Inspired by a Norse Legend and that the Author is unknown. I've understood this for the past 6 years.. Anyway, I've recently been asked to submit farewell stories RE: Jade Elaine and Daisy Mai for a collection of Pet Loss Stories for a book called "I'll Cry With You". I had suggested that the Rainbow Bridge Story be added to the book and again, this lady replies and tells me that the Author to the Rainbow Bridge is "William Britton" and that he lives in Utah... Does anyone else know this to be true?? Jadesun, Amber-Lynn n' Nikki Taur terribly missing Jade Elaine & Daisy Mai @->->- http://www3.nbnet.nb.ca/jadesun [Posted in FML issue 3719]
