I have followed along the shared stories form time to time of her Hooliggans adn have been able to chickle with the tumultous times they provided. Saying goodbye is never easy for any of us. You with your group and clustered ages, never mind ADV have had to say goodbye to so many in close proximity. You have afforded these kids adn Ellie especially with such a wonderful life. IMO part of what we get back is what we give. May you find some comfort in knowing these kids whom you loved & cared for have had a wonderful life. It will be wonderful when our times come adn we hear that thunder of paws racing to greet us. Please know that I share your loss adn send energy & supportive thoughts your way.
