[Stones] RAINBOW BRIDGE: Sunshine is gone

[Meghann Matwichuk]

Cindy and all others who've lost their little ones this year -- 

So sorry to hear about your loss. They're all so unique and they leave a
big hole when they go. I hope you can take comfort knowing that there
are many out here in cyberspace who understand your grief. I've lost
four of my little ones this year (two to bladder stone issues), and
certainly do sympathize.

Best wishes for a healing holiday season,

Meghann
