I share your sorrow. I only had elephants for 6 months on Howard Suesz's Clyde Bros--Mary, Sue, and Marge. I learned of their deaths months after they were gone, and the sadness is lasting. <br /><br />All good wishes for continued success with those who remain with you.Roger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920466115948257597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-41634499687157584542021-05-09T15:00:54.812-04:002021-05-09T15:00:54.812-04:00Youngest is Becky born in the wild
