Garnet shared my love of horses. Many of our conversations started by discussions about horses, we did little trail riding. She was a much better rider than me. My fondest memory is her turning in her saddle, smiling, checking to make sure I was still there. Yes dear lady. I am still here. Ride on to your Heavenly reward. I will meet you there.
