I was always struck by Felicity's gentle nature and kind, giving and open heart. She was intelligent, generous of time and spirit, an excellent cook, and such a pleasant person. She advised and mentored many and was a friend in varying capacity to any number of people. And, yes, she loved animals too, it's true.

Felicity was the nicest neighbor that anyone could hope for. She had a good heart and would do anything for anyone. She never had a bad word to say about anyone. She loved animals, and provided a good home for Morgan, and treated other animals with kindness and affection, and provided shelter for them when needed. I enjoyed talking with her, she was a sincere, and compassionate friend and neighbor. I will miss Felicity. May she rest in peace!
