| Yes, Leon, thank you. Those words are so true. There will be a gap no one call fill, but what lovely memories we have with us always. I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F. Frankfort Moore, A Garden of Peace |

| A similar sentiment I first heard in German, don't know the origin, but I copied it out in illuminated calligraphy for my mom when her dad died.

| the Goodreads site attributes the "Love leaves memories" quote to Richard Puz, who apparently used it in his The Carolinean series. However, he says he found it on "an Irish headstone." still digging... Circles of Support for Breast Cancer I'm learning to dance in the rain! Thank you, Sally & Chris & Sharon. |

ArleneB wrote:Leon, Angie, a lovely sentiment. Leon, is that heart in your garden? Hi Arlene, Yes that is on a grave of one of our little dogs. We get so attached and some might think me silly, but I'm too sentimental I guess. This is another one for another dog we lost a year ago. They were both part of the family for 12 years or more each. Forgive my attachments.   It's just heartbreaking to lose one of them. I was country back when it really was. Blog: http://garden.org/blogs/view/TBGDN/ |

| Not silly at all. If I had seen something like that I probably would have put on our cat's grave. I like them both. It's easy to get so attached, especially when they are so dependent on us. |

| We all miss Sharon so dreadfully. I turn on this thread for friends, but still do this with a heavy heart. I am sure that Oma knows that we are thinking of her & hope that she can read that we do so. |

| Leon, your grave markers are beautiful and we are as attached to our pets as well. We have a little area here on our property where we bury our pets and they each have their own markers with an angel. We love our pets as if they were our children and they are Lucy, it's a very painful time here. Sharon was definitely the glue that held us together but when I don't see each of you, the anxiety is horrible. We are all grieving, for sure. I am sending Oma cmails but it doesn't help if she isn't able to log on. NATIONAL GARDENING ASSOCIATION Purslane & Portulaca ~ Garden Art |

| I like the idea of bleeding heart flowers for Sharon. I planted some over my dog's grave and it was soothing to see it come back every year. Unfortunately, my parents sold the house and land that my dogs are buried on. |
|

| I hope you get some rain from Matthew, Lucy. Having company always forces getting some of the neglected jobs done. I always joke, I need to invite someone over in order to get motivated to clean the house. |

| Leon -- you have no need to apologize for your sentiment about your dogs. You are among like-minded people here. The ashes of my heart-dog, Maddie, are in a beautiful green urn on the mantle of my fireplace. I cannot bear to put her in the ground. My sister sent me a little statue of a woman holding a small dog -- and she stands in front of the urn. It soothes my heart that my Maddie is near to me. I think that your grave markers are beautiful, and tells me that you are a caring human being who valued and loved your animal companions. My estimation of you rises to know that you so loved your little dogs. Every day is a second chance. Every day is precious time. |

| Leon, A neighbor down the street had two little dashhounds. When they passes he put a small dog statue out in the yard, looking back at the house. I told him that was the saddest thing I had ever seen, but it was really neat how he did that. My feral cat has a cross at the edge of our property. Renee, Your dogs are by your side always.

| We do get attached to our pets. DH and I both cry like babies when we lose one and we now have urns holding ashes of 3 of our cats who have passed over the years. It is hard to lose anyone we love, human or animal. I found this article that Sharon wrote in 2011 while looking for an obituary. I posted it on another thread but wanted to share it here: http://www.themountaineagle.com/news/2011-05-11/Families_(an...)_Friends/Moments_and_Memories_of_WHS.html I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F.

| I have my annual mammogram tomorrow. I am so worried. I have two benign lumps that I had biopsied a year ago. The radiologist with the pink head scarf didn't show up for the follow up appointment and it was a big fiasco. (What kind of educated woman in America shuffles around with her eyes peeking out of a pink head scarf. My goodness. If you are going to wear a burka, make a statement and wear a black one like the ignorant masses unable to read the Koran and realize that it says nothing whatsoever about headscarves!) I am going to make their day and request that the other Italian American male radiologist read my tests after my negative experience with Ms. head scarf. My xgp was no help. She said to see a specialist but was unable to refer me to a specialist because her group didn't have one . I had to send the reports to my friend the vet in California to have to types of tumors explained. One lump is still uncomfortable. I found a breast surgeon to remove the lumps. Unfortunately, the surgeon is in Bethlehem/Allentown. I can only get a ride to the area on Mondays - the breast center office is closed on Mondays. There isn't an equally qualified surgeon in the local hospital group - besides, I am fed up with the local hospital group as I am sure you are tired of hearing about. How they managed to get so many third world hacks in one place blows the mind! The same doctors wouldn't be allowed to call themselves doctors or practice in NY or NJ. I hope that my two lumps are still only two and that they haven't multiplied, grown or done anything worrisome in the past year. My lungs hurt so much that I can't tell if it is my lungs or the lumps hurting at this point. I have breast lump removal surgery and knee surgery to look forward to in the near future. I have the doctors chosen to perform the procedures. I want to move out of this dump and be settled elsewhere before having either. I hope that fate cooperates. I am afraid to even hope for good news any more. My life continues to get worse and worse. I don't have the strength to face cancer now. I can barely face the problems I already have. Oma was such a help while I was going thru these tests. I am worried about her now too. I have to stop crying and try to rescue my plants. It will be 30'F tonight. |

Oh Andi Praying your lumps are benign and removed soon. I don't think I knew about your knee issues. I'm a 19 year breast cancer survivor so know that there is HOPE! I'm happy to answer any questions for you I can.  NATIONAL GARDENING ASSOCIATION Purslane & Portulaca ~ Garden Art |
