O'siyo Brothers and Sister!
On August 8, 2006 my half-side and I bid
farewell to a beautiful gentle giant, our beloved Agi.
She had already risen from one terrible malady that had stricken her. I
had carried her into a ceremony she walked out of - with help, but she
walked.
She had come into our life at the age of 5 weeks. She slept that first
night on my chest, and the next night next to us, never once
whimpering or crying in her new surroundings.
She left with the same quiet dignity. Janet had rushed her to the vet
after she collapsed on their morning walk. Janet was petting her as the
last breaths came. Again, she never whimpered or cried as she entered
her new surroundings.
She will be missed. That big grey muzzle and ruff in the lap asking for
- no, demanding a pet... Always she gave far more love than she
received.
Shortly after she crossed over it rained. Even the grandfathers cried
for our sorrow.
In the growing dusk that evening we sent her on her journey. Creator had
called home a beautiful, loving giant. A-gi-se-qua-a-ge-v-li did not
walk away from this ceremony... she soared with the eagles.
She leaves a legacy of loyalty and unwavering devotion.

| "Individually and collectively,
Cherokee people possess an extraordinary ability to face down adversity
and continue moving forward. We are able to do that because our culture,
though certainly diminished, has sustained us since time immemorial.
This Cherokee culture is a well-kept secret." ---Chief Wilma Mankiller,
Cherokee |
