I will now think of Cory every time we get to the pages with Dreamishness. Thank you for giving our family such a wonderful gift and much peace and strength to you.<br /><br />CathyCathyhttp://www.firstyearcomp.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-2061842220661406952012-07-27T12:05:07.985-07:002012-07-27T12:05:07.985-07:00Another lost comment.

I hurt for your grief. Cory loved elephants and Best Friends - she is close to my heart in that. Cancer is a losy, infestation with no conscience - much like a politician. Greedy and needy.

She and I shared a love for wild and domestic animals and she helped me with my 1st safari to Africa in 2004 with my boyfriend (of 26yrs) and a girlfriend. Both now gone as well. Last time I saw her she helped me with my 2009 safari with my Mom. After that we tried many times to get together. Invited her to HSUS sponsored events including "Born to be Wild" about Sheldricks Wildlife Trust. We loved our baby eles! I think her last foster was Chemi Chemi and we would always chat about our fosters (I have 6). If anyone is interested I know she would smile if someone continued her fostering of Chemi Chemi in her memory. I know this is a great loss for you, her family, the kitties, and the humane and environmental groups she supported and loved. My heart breaks that we lost such a beautiful spirit.<br />Susan VidorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-29556525765808944102012-06-03T18:23:54.145-07:002012-06-03T18:23:54.145-07:00My heart breaks for you, my friend.

We talked about it at WonderCon recently. <br /><br />Let me say how sorry I am for your loss. I lost my father to cancer in February, so I've seen firsthand how bad it can be. I've seen that death, so valiantly resisted for so long, can still be a relief in the end... And I've seen how finally letting go can be the greatest act of courage.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing such a private part of your life with us, and thank you for sharing about Cory; I promise that your story will help someone out here on the other side of your computer screen.<br />As in Beanworld, we are all connected.<br /><br />I have a picture of yours on my wall, one I bought at WonderCon... a single bean in a moment of pure joy. I will remember now the inspirational source of that feeling.<br /><br />Peace.<br /><br />Your fan,<br /><br />MarcusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-36847369353156944902012-05-28T13:33:57.299-07:002012-05-28T13:33:57.299-07:00I lost a parent in a similar fashion.

She was gone two weeks after being admitted to the hospital because she felt inexplicably tired.<br /><br />Reading Beanworld for the upteenth time (and focussing on the natural life cycle therein) helped me cope.<br /><br />I send you my deepest condolences and wish you the best of luck.Wonderjudashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673732244303591856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-30845038365988232232012-05-28T11:31:38.177-07:002012-05-28T11:31:38.177-07:00Larry, I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
