Oh thanks again guys! Karen, I had no idea you had a loss too...so sorry. I haven't even been lurking/reading the boards very much lately, or I would have known. Thanks for the stories and ideas too, never thought of burying the urn. Linda, I know what you mean about these kind of threads, but somehow putting my feelings in writing helped a lil' bit

. Thanks for your thoughts!
p.s., how funny that you have a cat named Shammy Cheri! Did you name her before the playa.info board days? I just love that...
