I'm also without words. May you find peace in the memories you have of Thrawn. This is by far my favorite pic of him! Such a very rough year all around. He's now frolicking with Dakota and Clea and they are watching down on all of the rest of the crew!
Our hearts are breaking and tears are falling. We've been checking back and am so sad to receive this difficult news. May the thoughts of Dakota in God's Garden to meet Thrawn help your hearts. The beautiful pictures & memories will help in the healing. We will miss him too.
Thrawn will be missed so much...but now his precious friend,Tucker, will be so happy to have his brother to play with once again...no pain for either of them-just a broken heart for you and your family. Love ya, Aunt Jan
Maryann...I'm so sorry. We know how much you loved Thrawn and how much he loved you. You've been thru so much with him. Just know how lucky you both were to have one another for as long as you have. I know Dakota is up there waiting for him and will take good care of him.
We are so sorry to hear that Thrawn crossed the bridge. We can only imagine how much you and the rest of the Brat Pack will miss him. You are in our thoughts. Comet and BLU
Oh guys. I'm so so sorry. We are thinking of you all, especially you, Maryann, for taking such wonderful care of your special guy. You will be in our thoughts.
Maryann... am speechless too.. i'm so shocked now.. and so so sorry bout Thrawn.. it's happening too fast.. Please be strong.. All loves are with you and to rest of the pack.. May Thrawn run freely over the rainbow bridge with Dakota, Oscar and the rest..
I am so devastated to hear about Thawn. The Brat Pack has always been very special to me cos you guys were my very first blogging friends. It has been a tough few months with Thawn. Now, we know he will be keeping Dakota company. We love you Maryann. Our thoughts are with you.
Oh Maryann... words can not express how heartbroken I am right now. I am just shocked!!! I have tears streaming down my face. Please know that I and everyone else are here for you now. I wish my arms would stretch to Texas to wrap them around you and the gang.
Hugs and powerful prayers, Shelli (and Sitka and Tia too)

Sad woos from the Kapp pack. We know you loved him and did everything you could to give him a happy life and to keep him comfortable. Sibe vibes for ALL of you and candles lit. May he wear his silver harness proudly as he crosses the rainbow bridge.
I was so afraid this is what I would read when I checked back. I'm so sorry, Maryann. I know your heart is in pieces tonight. You gave Thrawn so much love and care and I know it wasn't always easy, but you did it any way because you loved him. He was a handsome, sweet dog. I will miss hearing more of his adventures. Sleep well, Thrawn. *tears*
Dear Maryann (and the Brat Pack), We are so so sorry to hear about Thrawn's passing. While we knew that he hasn't always been well, this happened too suddenly. Our thoughts are with you...
* Message to Thrawn: Farewell handsome Thrawn.. Run free now.. you will never be forgotten *
I am sorry for you loss. I have just read the story about how Thrawn had entered your life. He had lived a tough life and is very lucky to have found love from you.
You have done your best for him, and I know it make no sense to tell you not to feel too sad. I just hope that you will find comfort with the fact that Thrawn had the happiest part of his life with you and its because of you that he get to know what its like to be loved and cared for. At least he is no longer suffering now.
RIP, Thrawn. You will always be remembered and loved by your family and all of your friends.
Oh maryann, Our thoughts and hearts go out to you and the pack at this time. We all loved thrawn though not as much as you. You gave that boy a wonderful life.
We are new to the blog world but heard about Thrawn and wanted to say how sorry we are for you all. What a handsome man he was and we can tell he'll be missed.
Maryann I am so very sorry to hear of your loss..we didn't know Thrawn but can see he was a wonderful dog and meant the world to you, you have our love and thoughts and prayers to help you through this terrible time. run free beautiful thrawn Ami and Asta
Maryann, I am so saddened to hear about Thrawn. You gave him a wonderful life, full of love and happiness. What dog wouldn't want to spend a few years with you and your happy hounds? We are so happy he brought so much joy to your house. We will miss hearing his voice on your blog, but we will always remember him. I hope he and Dakota are having a good romp.
xo Sherry and Sophie Brador
p.s. One of our DWB friends suggested that Thrawn was Sophie's angel today, when she was in danger. Maybe they were right and Thrawn is watching over all the DWB brood.
Dear Maryann We are so sorry to hear about Thrawn. We understand your pain and the pain of the pack too. Sure he is now with Dakota running free of pain. We are praying for him and you all. Lorenza
Maryann, You have our most sincere condolences. We are so sorry to hear about Thrawn; we will all be praying for you! Hugs from us all, The Ao4 and Mom Karen
We are so sorry to hear about Thrawn. We learned of his passing from Wally's blog. We lost our Buko just recently, and we very much sympathize with your pain.
Oh Maryann, I can't even find the words to say how so very sorry I am. I can't even imagine what you're going through tonight. I feel like one of my own dogs has been taken from me.
After such a long fight...Thrawn is at the bridge...running free as the wind...with no pain and Dakota at his side.
I wish peace to you and your pack. We send you cyber hugs, kisses and lots of love.
Oh I was just so shocked to read this. I will send the collar which he earned anyway, and hope that one of the Brat Pack can wear it in his memory. I hope that the huge hole in your heart will soon fill with smiling memories. sending comforting thoughts- Patience and the whippet waggle

We hadn't had a chance to check in this morning, and have had business all day. We got home to check blogs and found the message about Thrawn. We know you two shared a special bond, and that he will be sadly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the others. Know that all of you gave him love, care and support, and that he is truly comfortable now where there is no pain, no seizures, only love and joy.
I'm devastated to hear of Thrawn's passing. All y sympathies are with you, right now. He was a beautiful boy and much loved, even by those who only knew him virtually.
Oh no!! My heart is just breaking and the tears are running. I am so shocked and saddened. He was such a tough guy, and he had been doing pretty well. He was sooo beautiful and I always just wanted to hug him! I am so soo sooooo sorry Maryann. I can't even begin to tell you how terrible I feel for you. You will most certainly be in my prayers. Beautiful Thrawn, wear your silver harness with pride, and wait for your mom and fur-siblings to meet you again one day. Dakota now has his brother to keep him company until you meet him again.
Oh Maryanne, we are so sorry to hear about this! We know that no words will ease your pain, but please remember that you were his angel here on earth, now it's his turn to be your angel. We lost our Starr & Ice last year, and the pain never goes away, but it will mellow and become bittersweet. Wish we could be there to give you big hugs & slurpy kisses, but know that the rest of your pack is surely doing that. Please feel free to contact us for siber-hugs or anything else we can do. Our hearts are with you. Mama wants to share this husky specific version of North of the Rainbow Bridge with you, it helps her when she's feeling down missing Starr & Ice, and is a beautiful tribute to our beautiful breed. Sad, tearful hugs from The River Hill Pack
North of The Rainbow Bridge
by MakWa4me
The time comes. A Siberian Husky lifts up its head. There is an untested adventure beyond. Time to go.
Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for all dogs. A river runs wide and shallow with tennis balls that fly with their own wings; that is the place for a Labrador or Golden to await its master's arrival.
The Siberian is not content here. Northward is its trail....
There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and geese to pen. Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and flyball.
But the North continues its sure wild call, and the Siberian's journey continues....
Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full. Now the light is silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow. Now there are no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run. This is where Siberians gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge.
They wait in this beautiful place, happy, but not complete. Suddenly, a howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming, someone very special. All the Siberians raise their heads and join in the ancient chorus. They dance like moonbeams and sing like winter winds.
There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones splattered with many colors and silver ones like the first strange hour before light. They line up as if in harness and run together, in a scintillating, many-colored streak. The leader of the team guides the others past the fields and river, with racing feet and racing heart. They rush to greet the new arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where the leader is rejoined with its beloved person, never to be parted again.
The glory of the reunion is celebrated by all the Siberians dwelling beyond the Bridge, a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling with joy. The light from that scene is what we see on magical evenings in the northernmost parts of this Earth: The Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights beyond the Rainbow Bridge.
Maryann, We're so sorry about Thrawn. We've been behind on reading blogs, and sorry that we didn't offer any encouraging words during the past few days. We're sure you did what was best for Thrawn, even though it was difficult. Our thoughts are with you.
So very sorry to hear of Thrawn's crossing. We know how hard it is to lose one you love. My peep's thoughts are with you and I've crossed my paws. Lots of licks to all.
Hi Maryann - I am so sorry...without words & my heart is so heavy...Thrawn was such a beautiful boy...so full of emotion in those crystal eyes....Its just not fair....My eyes are blurry with tears...oh, what a handsome, handsome boy. My love to you, Tucker, Samantha, Dot-Spot & your whole family...the pain of losing Dublin as you lost Dakota only a week earlier in March 07 is still so fresh...so raw...Please know how much we all loved Thrawn...I know that Dublin in playing with him at the Bridge with Dakota & they are showing him around.
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill, Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next, Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care, Until one day they start, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet. So they run to each other, these friends from long past, The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart, Has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
We are so sorry to hear of Thrawn's crossing the Rainbow Bridge. We read the story of how Thrawn came to stay with you. Thrawn was so lucky to spend his time here with you and the rest of the Brat Pack. Our thoughts are with you.
To all of you who loved and prayed for Thrawn and MaryAnn, I can not begin to express my heart felt thanks to all of you. I just read all 56 bark-outs and have never been so very touched...I can't control my tears...thank you for loving my sister, MaryAnn, as I do... and her Brat Pack. Continue to lift them in your prayers. Aunt Jan
Dear Maryann We're sorry we haven't met you until now, and we're even much sorrier to hear that you have lost your precious Thrawn. Words can't help a lot right now, but we care about you and your pack, just as all the other DWBs care about you. Coz we live so far away, words are all we can give you now, but our words are genuine. Love from Hammer
Oh we are all thinking of you. We know Cubby was at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for Thrawn. All will be fine, but we know you needs lots and lots of hugs right now. We send them to you. You are good loving mom.
Husky Hugs, Kisses and Soft Woos. MayaMarie, Missy and Gerri
Maryann, I am so sorry about Thrawn. I was so hoping that it was something that would pass. Rest assured that you gave him a loving home & the best care that a fellow could get. He is now at peace & in no more pain. -Marlene & the Mullin Clan-
I am so sorry about Thrawn. I know that he is with Dakota, and my Little Bit, and he is feeling a whole lot better. Take care of yourself, and the Brat Pack.
We are beside ourselves Thrawn was loved by all. We will miss him so much. Thrawn was a part of each of our lives and families. I know that he passed with much love in his heart.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
How sad for all DWBers. What a beautiful boy. May he run and play with all that have gone to the Bridge prior. Take comfort in the wonderful time you had together.
MaryAnn, It breaks our heart to hear about Thrawn. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With tears, Four Pugz and mom, Catherine
A poem:
Solace
From the silence of your pain I heard my name and on the wings of light I have come to see the sadness in your eyes that cry without tears
Can you see me, I am here I will always be near you to calm your shattered heart and to make you smile at the memories
Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur You ache to believe it's real but you are afraid to hope You brush away a strand of hair But it was I, whispering.....
I am only here for but a moment The silver thread gently quivers I will leave behind my love in a dream When you awaken, and without really knowing why
Your heart will know at last That it is all right, for now to say good-bye ...
Maryann, we are so, so sorry about Thrawn. We are all thinking about you and are here if you need anything. As everyone else has said, he's in the best place now, running free and without pain. Let us know if you need anything at all!
Maryann, we are so sorry...we came on just now to see how he was doing. We're sure that he is jumping and playing with Dakota! You are such a great mama with a huge heart. (((((((maryann))))))))
We are so sorry to hear about Thrawn, even though we know in our hearts that he is in a healthier place across the Rainbow Bridge. We will keep you all in our thoughts!
Maryann, We just discovered your site by reading about Thrawn at Lacylulu's blog. I am so sorry for your loss. I know only too well what you're feeling. Take consulation that he is no longer suffering and he'll be waiting for you in Heaven. Chris
Oh no! That's so sad. We'll all miss him terribly. We'll be praying that God will comfort you and your family. Remember that Thrawn is in heaven now, having the time of his life with Jesus.
Dam......... Maryann, I am so very sorry to hear this. We sure do let ourselves in for it loving these wonderful dogs...*sigh* It's never long enough, is it? Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs all around for the rest of the pack who I know will be missing Thrawn too.
Maryann, We are very sorry to learn that you have lost Thrawn. It sounds as if you love him very much and will miss him terribly. We hope your wonderful memories soon help you feel the comfort and peace you need.
Jemima, Zeke, Sushi, Tiger Lily and Ruckus Rebecca and Chas (Mom and my Daddy)
Maryanne, We are so sorry for your loss of Thrawn. We didn't know him for very long, but in a short time, we learned of what an amazing dog he was. Our hearts go out to you and please know that we are thinking of you and of Thrawn racing happily with Dakota over the Rainbow Bridge.
We were just getting to know Thrawn and all of you, and my girl and I are heartbroken about Thrawn. We can't imagine how you're feeling, but we are thinking of you and praying for all of you.
I understand your loss. Two days before Thanksgiving I lost my beloved Tolkien. He'd been by best friend for fourteen years.
Somewhere our husky boys are playing, young, and running around like wild puppies, making their silver harnesses jingle so loud that all the angels are going to need earplugs.
Oh Maryann, I'm so, so sorry. We are thinking of you and saying prayers for Thrawn. We know you did the right thing for him.
We would be glad to put a tribute to him on our Rainbow Bridge site if you would like. There are some support groups there too: http://therainbowbridgesite.blogspot.com/
Maryanne and Brat Pack, My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Take comfort in the fact that Thrawn lived a long happy life and you shared many wonderful times together.
Maryann and pups, we are so sorry to hear about Thrawn! We loved his eyes and expressions. We know this is a very hard time for you and we wish we could make it easier. we hope you can see him playing at the bridge, waiting for you.
My heart aches for you. I lost both my Huskies, King & Keesha, within the last 2 1/2 years. King was my best friend and I still miss him, more than 2 years later. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
Dear TBP, We here are sad. We love Thrawn. He was so cute and we loved hearing all about his adventures and looking at the world through his eyes. We will miss him a LOT. We will be thinking of you and sending good pawsome vibes to you all.
Maryann, we're very sorry and sad to that Thrawn went over the Rainbow Bridge. He is a beautiful husky and we enjoyed the stories you told us about him. Also, knowing that he struggled with seizures helped us get through ours as well as we learned from what you wrote and what he went through.
I hope he is no longer in pain and that he is smiling down from you from Husky Heaven. I bet he is bragging to everyone up there what a wonderful, loving, self sacrificing family he had. He'll definitely be missed.
I wanted to send you some smooches and to let you know we are still thinking of you. I posted a picture for you today, Sam, hoping it would bring a much needed smile to your face. Please share with your mom. Laughing at me is ok.
We are so sorry to hear about Thrawn. He was such a beautiful dog, reading your post just broke our hearts. We know that he is in a better place, healthy and happy, playing with Dakota and all those who crossed the bridge before him. You, Thrawn and the rest of the pack will be in our thoughts and prayers. May Thrawn be running free and happy!
Mistress thought she had posted our condolences days ago but she has read through the posts twice now and can't find what she wrote. Maybe she couldn't see the right buttons through her tears and didn't press correctly.
We didn't want you to think we weren't thinking of you all. Sorry for her incompetence.
So sorry to hear this news, and sorry that I have not been keeping in touch enough to hear sooner. I hope you are all finding healing comes after your loss.
With a sad heart I wanted to let our friends know that Thrawn crossed the Bridge this afternoon. I'm lost without him and without words. -Maryann

We hadn't had a chance to check in this morning, and have had business all day. We got home to check blogs and found the message about Thrawn. We know you two shared a special bond, and that he will be sadly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the others. Know that all of you gave him love, care and support, and that he is truly comfortable now where there is no pain, no seizures, only love and joy.
Gus and Muzzer
I'm devastated to hear of Thrawn's passing. All y sympathies are with you, right now. He was a beautiful boy and much loved, even by those who only knew him virtually.
Siobhan, Louka's mommy.
Oh no!! My heart is just breaking and the tears are running. I am so shocked and saddened. He was such a tough guy, and he had been doing pretty well. He was sooo beautiful and I always just wanted to hug him! I am so soo sooooo sorry Maryann. I can't even begin to tell you how terrible I feel for you. You will most certainly be in my prayers. Beautiful Thrawn, wear your silver harness with pride, and wait for your mom and fur-siblings to meet you again one day. Dakota now has his brother to keep him company until you meet him again.
Jan and Holly
Oh Maryanne, we are so sorry to hear about this! We know that no words will ease your pain, but please remember that you were his angel here on earth, now it's his turn to be your angel. We lost our Starr & Ice last year, and the pain never goes away, but it will mellow and become bittersweet. Wish we could be there to give you big hugs & slurpy kisses, but know that the rest of your pack is surely doing that. Please feel free to contact us for siber-hugs or anything else we can do. Our hearts are with you. Mama wants to share this husky specific version of North of the Rainbow Bridge with you, it helps her when she's feeling down missing Starr & Ice, and is a beautiful tribute to our beautiful breed.
Sad, tearful hugs from
The River Hill Pack
North of The Rainbow Bridge
by MakWa4me
The time comes. A Siberian Husky lifts up its head. There is an untested adventure beyond. Time to go.
Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for all dogs. A river runs wide and shallow with tennis balls that fly with their own wings; that is the place for a Labrador or Golden to await its master's arrival.
The Siberian is not content here. Northward is its trail....
There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and geese to pen. Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and flyball.
But the North continues its sure wild call, and the Siberian's journey continues....
Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full. Now the light is silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow. Now there are no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run. This is where Siberians gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge.
They wait in this beautiful place, happy, but not complete. Suddenly, a howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming, someone very special. All the Siberians raise their heads and join in the ancient chorus. They dance like moonbeams and sing like winter winds.
There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones splattered with many colors and silver ones like the first strange hour before light. They line up as if in harness and run together, in a scintillating, many-colored streak. The leader of the team guides the others past the fields and river, with racing feet and racing heart. They rush to greet the new arrival at the Rainbow Bridge, where the leader is rejoined with its beloved person, never to be parted again.
The glory of the reunion is celebrated by all the Siberians dwelling beyond the Bridge, a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling with joy. The light from that scene is what we see on magical evenings in the northernmost parts of this Earth: The Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights beyond the Rainbow Bridge.
Maryann,
We're so sorry about Thrawn. We've been behind on reading blogs, and sorry that we didn't offer any encouraging words during the past few days. We're sure you did what was best for Thrawn, even though it was difficult. Our thoughts are with you.
Steve, Kat, Wilbur, and Valerie
Oh Maryann, we are so sorry to hear about Thrawn. We are sorry for your loss. You have been a great Mom to him. Please take care of yourself.

Hi Maryann - I am so sorry...without words & my heart is so heavy...Thrawn was such a beautiful boy...so full of emotion in those crystal eyes....Its just not fair....My eyes are blurry with tears...oh, what a handsome, handsome boy. My love to you, Tucker, Samantha, Dot-Spot & your whole family...the pain of losing Dublin as you lost Dakota only a week earlier in March 07 is still so fresh...so raw...Please know how much we all loved Thrawn...I know that Dublin in playing with him at the Bridge with Dakota & they are showing him around.

Randi & her mom & dad
I am so sorry for your loss. :(
>>>>>>>>>
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

A poem:
Solace
From the silence of your pain I heard my name and on the wings of light I have come to see the sadness in your eyes that cry without tears
Can you see me, I am here
I will always be near you
to calm your shattered heart
and to make you smile at the memories
Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur
You ache to believe it's real
but you are afraid to hope
You brush away a strand of hair
But it was I, whispering.....
I am only here for but a moment
The silver thread gently quivers
I will leave behind my love in a dream
When you awaken, and without really knowing why
Your heart will know at last
That it is all right, for now
to say good-bye ...

Dear Maryann,
I am sorry about Thrawn.
I understand your loss. Two
days before Thanksgiving
I lost my beloved Tolkien.
He'd been by best friend
for fourteen years.
Somewhere our husky boys
are playing, young, and running around like wild puppies, making their silver harnesses jingle so loud that all the angels are going to need earplugs.
Godspeed to the Rainbow Bridge Thrawn

(Tolkien, Arwen, and Raven's Mom)
WE are so sorry to hear of the loss of Thrawn. Our deepest condolences to you all.

Forever in our hearts, run free, healthy and happy across the Rainbow Bridge, until we meet again.

Maryann and pups, we are so sorry to hear about Thrawn! We loved his eyes and expressions. We know this is a very hard time for you and we wish we could make it easier. we hope you can see him playing at the bridge, waiting for you.
My heart aches for you. I lost both my Huskies, King & Keesha, within the last 2 1/2 years. King was my best friend and I still miss him, more than 2 years later. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Maryann, we're very sorry and sad to that Thrawn went over the Rainbow Bridge. He is a beautiful husky and we enjoyed the stories you told us about him. Also, knowing that he struggled with seizures helped us get through ours as well as we learned from what you wrote and what he went through.
I hope he is no longer in pain and that he is smiling down from you from Husky Heaven. I bet he is bragging to everyone up there what a wonderful, loving, self sacrificing family he had. He'll definitely be missed.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Hi guys,
I wanted to send you some smooches and to let you know we are still thinking of you. I posted a picture for you today, Sam, hoping it would bring a much needed smile to your face. Please share with your mom. Laughing at me is ok.
wally.
We are so sorry to hear about Thrawn. He was such a beautiful dog, reading your post just broke our hearts. We know that he is in a better place, healthy and happy, playing with Dakota and all those who crossed the bridge before him. You, Thrawn and the rest of the pack will be in our thoughts and prayers. May Thrawn be running free and happy!
Your pals,
Kirby & Mom (Kirstin)
Maryan I am so sorry to hear your terrible news.
Safe jounrey onwards Thrawn, you are in our thoughts.
MaryAnn. I'm so sorry to hear this.. I just read it on Indy's blog.
Sleep well, sweet Thrawn.
Mistress thought she had posted our condolences days ago but she has read through the posts twice now and can't find what she wrote. Maybe she couldn't see the right buttons through her tears and didn't press correctly.
We didn't want you to think we weren't thinking of you all. Sorry for her incompetence.
Pippa x
So sorry to hear this news, and sorry that I have not been keeping in touch enough to hear sooner. I hope you are all finding healing comes after your loss.
best wishes for Christmas
