"I like to spend time with my dogs when I'm out walking. Brownie, a golden retriever and Murray, a smooth Collie are both buried here. Murray was diagnosed 2 months after me with the same head and neck cancer as mine. He liked sleeping beside me, but as I got sicker, he had a sense and really wanted to stay close to me. It's important to me to know that they're there with me."
