Virgil Dove has died.

[Catherine]

Thank-you. I suspect he was an older bird.  He died so quietly, he wasn't sick or weak. It was a gentle passing with Dora nearby. I checked on him before I left for work and spoke to him and then some time during the day he was gone.

Dora is very quiet right now. I think she will miss him more than anyone ever could. They were so close. He did love Dora and he was sweet with me.

Farewell sweet Virgil, fly free across the rainbow bridge.
