Ode to Birdie

Ray's Dad's longtime 'significant other', Birdie, died today. Birdie had a massive stroke 2 days ago and didn't really stand a chance at recovery. They took her off life support today and she died somewhere between noon and 1 p.m. Clarence and Birdie were together for many, many years. Although she was only 4 ft 7 inches tall, she was like a force of nature! Acadian-french accent and temperament, she was very definitely a Character, and a very kind person. She was fun to tease, especially for Ray,for everyone really. For someone so small she will leave a very big hole. Please say a prayer for Clarence and for all the family.
