Goodbye, sweet Dublin (update p. 25, Dublin has crossed the bridge; update for details on funeral on page 32.)

Godspeed and Godbless

As I did not have the pleasure of knowing Dublin personally, My heart goes out to her amazing Husband Dave and his Family. I have read the last 20 or so pages, and have done an awful lot of blubbering. It is truly wonderful the love and compassion that has been expressed on this board. And I am only sorry I never got to know you Dublin. May you live in peace forever, No doubt we will all meet in a better place someday. Deepest regrets, Fandango, Kim formerly Sannois

It sounds as though Dublin will be one busy soul up in Heaven, conversing with VHV & Cactuskate, giving pets to all the animals that have gone before her, and riding all of our beloved horses that have crossed.

I’m in too…

What if the Hokey Pokey IS what its all about?

One more time, jingling for Dublin…only now am jingling in joy, joy, for she is truly over Rainbow Bridge, being snuffled and kissed and given all the love of all our wonderful friends , two and four footed…

Oh Dublin, Ride On in Joy Forever!

Poor Poor Dublin. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to her family.

I Loff you Dublin and Mr. Dublin!!!

I’m sure Dublin will be making the stars shine brighter up in the heavens!

David and DeeDee-my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I also wanted to say–david—your posts are so warm and heartfelt…how truly wonderful that you two shared such a special love for the time you did. You sound a like a truly strong and amazing man…you both have been blessed with each other and from the pages and pages here, also blessed by a support group.

What a wonderful gift.

Because I am computer and BB illiterate, I am unable to supply the direct link, but there is a wonderful thread that dublin started called, “dublin and bumpkin’s excellent adventure”. It’s unfortunate that the photos are now missing.

Maybe someone more gifted than myself can post a direct link?

Many of you posted on that 3-page thread.

Including Cactuskate.

Oh Dave, I am so very sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dublin – Godspeed and god bless.

My heart is with you, your family, and your friends.

“You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever!”

Yeah, Bumpkin. Count me in.

I am so so sorry. I don’t know what to say, except I am so so sorry. But I feel so blessed, that even though I never really talked to Dublin, that I was lucky enough to get a small insight into such an amazing women’s life. Godspeed Dee Dee…you will be missed greatly

I have not been on the COTH BB for a while. I am so sorry to hear about Dublin. A lot of sad things have been happening lately in my own little world, so I haven’t had the psychological strength to deal with the extra saddness of facing the passing of COTH BB friends.

G-d will grant Dublin peace and will make her whole again. She will not suffer like the rest of us on this world. We are all suffering from the impending loss of Dublin.

Dave, it’s hard to find the right words, but please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences to you and everyone that loved Dublin.

I have atleast three of them, and will see if I can locate the “Golden Bit” one.

Words cannot say what I’m sure all of us are feeling tonight. While I never met Dublin, I always looked forward to the honesty of her posts. I am heartened by the deepfelt caring that go out to her husband and to Lucy. This board has brought so much relief, and comfort to people in such horrible situations, that it reminded me of a song we used to sing in choir…

One Little Candle
Burning Bright
One little gleam
of radiant light
shimmering softly
in the night
makes the darkness
fade away

One little song
thats freely sung
One little bit
of good thats done
brightens the world for everyone
like a candles golden flame

keep your light
shining bright
like a spark of hope held high

thats all I remember, but it sure signifies what this board can do for each other when somebody needs it.

Take care David, I wish you the best of luck in the future.

She was such a sweet person. She would email me from time to time, and was so thoughtful and concerned about horse welfare. I will keep her alive in my thoughts.

Does anyone know that Emmy Lou Harris song “All My Tears”? It reminds me of her. I played it today and cried.

Dee Dee–

When you need a break from the Cosmic Horse Show and just want a good gallop across country, look for a befuddled group of submissive geldings. That plain bay mare who’s keeping them in line will be my Goosie, she’s the one you want. Don’t let the ears back and snaky head put you off, it’s all a bluff.

And when you want the ultimate trail ride, or are heading to the woods with an inexperienced guest, look for a little true black QH mare with one white hind pastern. That will be my Barbara W., and you can do no better for a long, quiet hack.

Go in peace; we will miss you!

Reading this, I don’t know what to say.

Dublin was the first adult from the BB to ever email me. I was a junior at the time (first ammy year now ) and she recognized she had lived in the same area as I had. We corresponded a little bit and it turned out my family history related to her’s. No other adult has ever emailed me as a result of this board.

To this day I still have her emails.

I just don’t know what to say. Here are two quotations:

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.
–Rabindranath Tagore

While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.
–John Taylor
