When we were at this spot 30 years ago on our honeymoon I told Herb I thought this was the most beautiful place on Earth and when I died I wanted my ashes to be left here.  While he was sick he asked me to bring half of his ashes here to be with mine forever.  I did not take half but enough to fulfill his wishes.  When I took a helicopter ride this morning over Kaua'i I felt like I was flying with the angels and Herb towards heaven. l can't wait to join you again my beloved Herb.

Dad taught me a deep appreciation for all animals. Indeed, he was like the pied piper. He had a sensitivity and a way of communicating with animals that was awesome. He always shared his house and/ yard with animals of various sorts, even fish. We grew up mostly with cats - siamese being his favorite - as children, but, he also had a love affair with pigs. For a few years in Clifton, Colorado, he had a pig farm with as many as 96 oinkers at one point. He also had a cow, 2 horses, lots of chickens, and a feisty (in a good way) goat named Twinkle Toes.  He fell in love with chihuahuas when he and Mary got Chiquita.  Chiquita was rather a well traveled pooch - she went every where with them including Costa Rica, Mexico and Europe, Dogs supplanted his love affair with siamese cats and he never went back.  His latest dog, Chula, was his beloved. She died 1 month 2 days after he did - such a loving bond.
