Nomsa died yesterday morning at about nine-thirty, burying her head in my stomach as she did so. Over the past few days we have received such support from you who love us scattered accross the planet and whom Nomsa touched deeply, as only she could. Hence this virtual memorial service - please share your memories and pics. I'll keep posting more as I find them.
She has been my companion for the past twenty years and has taught me more than I can begin to tell. She is buried under a fan aloe overlooking the 8km stretch of Noordhoek beach - Nomsa's final stomping ground that she loved so much. Her soft coat glowing orange in the fading sunlight against the white sand, framing her much-loved dolphin smile and gentle eyes.
In the last two years she suffered from bad arthritis. So much so that about two years ago her shoulders slipped out of her sockets and I thought we'd come to the end of our final road trip. Nomsa merely smiled, and within weeks had changed her walk to that of a stilt-walker. It never happened again. At that time she also managed to keep a frisky and dominating staffieX at a constant 4m distance with an almost imperceptible snarl!

Thanks for the website. I'm so please Nomsa died with her head in your belly. I had Shicks lying on me placed at the position of my heart when she died (we lay like that for hours because i knew that she was dying) It has bbe a source of great comfort for me.
I wish you and dear beloved Nomsa lots of strength. It breaks my heart too because you know how special she is to me as well. You know I've had her pictures on my wall for the past 10 years ( since I moved into my flat ). May the Archangels ( who are in charge of all animals ) comfort her and accompany her on her journey. All my love to both of you. God Bless!
She was quite the gal. Vaya con dios Nomsa. I'm glad I knew you.
She was a noble being
She is at peace, Cathy. I can feel her presence. It was a joy to know her in the flesh. Her memory remains - it is one of love. What a blessing. Luv, Zena

I was saddened to hear about nomsa - love and light to you and her in her next incarnation
The first half of the healing my hands were very hot (which is a sign of healing taking place). I saw you surrounded in light with Nomsa, and then an Angel cut this chord between you and took her away, while two other Angels stayed with you, comforting you. It was powerful, but in a very good way. You let go.
I know you know this, but Nomsa will be with you in spirit. The bond you shared was and is very deep. I picked some cards for you, and also picked Guinavere (true love). Mitraya also came up, to show you the healing power of joy. Joy carries the highest vibration out of all the emotions, and is a very healing emotion to work with.
Love
Lu
