Thanks for the condolences ... it means a lot. Sharing her loss here helps, and like a lot of members, I've gone through this process many times. I take comfort knowing that Rainee had a full life, and that I was able to spend almost all of it with her over the last five or so years. Working from home meant that she and I were rarely apart, and she rode with me just about everywhere. She was a like a magnet when out and about and loved the attention.
I'm also very grateful for my neighbor's tenant Brian who has been such a good friend and who has taken great care of her during those times when I had to leave her home. He and his wife were so sweet with Rainee and I've tried to repay him in all manner of ways since it's meant so much to me.
Towards the end she had a tougher time with any form or separation, even if just for a a few minutes, so I tried to do things when she was sleeping.
Here's Brian and Rainee a few months ago. She really liked him and I will always be in his debt.
