Thanks everyone for the kind words and sharing your experiences. The wife took it like I thought she would. Which isn't saying anything bad just the way I figured. I dug the hole yesterday and did the deed. Mollie's laid to rest but not forgotten. I'm working on the board for her. I had to call all of the kids last night as well since they pretty much grew up around her or her them. It's funny, kind of, they've moved on and they've got their own lives now and it seems they were consoling me more than I was them, kind of like a role reversal from when they were younger. Anyway, I guess this is another chapter in our lives and we all have them. I'm not playing the event over and over so much in my mind now so the healing is happening. Thanks again guys.
