by request of Glynis that I post this
Dear Greytalk friends of Winslow,
We thank you so much for all of your sympathies and condolences. Thank you for your support for the last 3 1/2 years. It was all of you that helped to make him happy. As you know, Winslow loved the computer and he loved it when I read GT to him. All of your responses, participation in his fundraising (auctions, raffles and his shop) meant so much to all of us. I believe that's what really kept him going. Winslow had a job to do and with your help he accomplished so much.
When Diane (Burpdog) began his diary, we didn't know how it would turn out. As a result, we made some very special friends, met a lot of people, raised a lot of money for charity and Winslow's birthday parties became the talk of our neighborhood.
Winslow was a big, happy boy right up to the end. He loved life. He loved humans. His adoption of us changed our lives forever. We learned so much from him. We are so honored to be his people and to have shared his life and be blessed by his wisdom. We spent a lot of time laughing with Winslow. He was our light.
Diane says they stay as long as they need to, not as long as we want them to. Winslow stayed with us through our trip across the country, through getting us to our new home and he didn't leave until we were settled in a routine that he set up for us. He knew this was the final destination for all of us. We are devastated by his passing, but comforted by the knowledge that he is out there somewhere, happy, whole, and watching over us as he always did.
Winslow left this life as he lived it, with the calm dignity that was just Winslow.
Thank you again,
Glynis, Craig and our angel, Winslow.
