IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED AGNES CORBETT August 26, 2007 11:10 AM
In Memory of our Beloved Agnes
It is with a sadden heart and tears to tell you that Agnes Corbett passed on early this morning, August 26, 2007.
Jorge received a call from her husband and it must be said though that one of the doctors was adamant to keep trying, doing his utmost to save her, while the others had long given up, this must be a great comfort for us and Anges' husband, to know that one of them was a good person and did his utmost to save her till the last minute.
We must think that her suffering is over, that she is now free and that she fought bravely all her life, till the end. Now it“s time for us to send her the best vibrations of spiritual help, because her spirit goes on as does the wonderful work and projects she lovingly dedicated herself to with help, love and friendship of so many.
We ourselves are here passing by.
The family hasn't decided where to have the funeral, if they wish to share that information for those that want to send flowers it will be made available.
Only I still love you, Agnes..be with God now, my dear friend....help him play with all the animals at the Bridge. I'm not sure who I borrowed this from, and my apologies to the author/creator-but I feel it is fitting here:
I will miss Agnes greatly. She was a very good friend, one who was always there to lend her ear (eyes) to what her friends had to say, and always willing to help out when and where she could. She was always busy doing something that in the end would make the world a much better place to live in. For Agnes, she can be proud that because of her actions, she actually did leave this world in a much better place then it was when she first came into it.
I believe Agnes will remain with us all here on Care2, and be another one of those wonderful Care2 angels who will keep on fighting for her causes through all of us.
My prayers are with her husband and family while they go through the grieving process. My God keep them close by and help to remind them that she is in a much better place now, and she is no longer in pain. She is at peace.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friends finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved heads, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pets, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Agnes, my tears are not enough to say you will be missed. May you come back my friend as a beautiful bird to love the blessed trees you cared so much for. My condolences to the family.
We Love you Agnes ~ You are missed Dear Lady August 26, 2007 12:36 PM
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our wonderful friend Agnes. She was a sweet, loving and caring soul, that will be missed dearly.

Dedicated in Memory of Agnes... I Am Always With You When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years. I gave you my love, and you can only guess How much you've given me in happiness. I thank you for the love that you have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust That it is only for a while that we must part, So treasure the memories within your heart. I won't be far away for life goes on. And if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear All my love around you soft and clear And then, when you come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".

one of many freinds she had such a big heart. Blue, Spirit Warrior sent me that recently to help ease, it's been playing in my mind for several days. thank you both, I put in on the Tribute Share as well.
As an ancient legend goes; If anyone desires a wish to come true, they must capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since butterflies make no sound, They cant tell that wish to anyone but the Great Spirit, So by making the wish and releasing the butterfly, It will be taken to the heavens and be granted. Although this legend implies that we should keep our wishes silent, there are some wishes that need to be expressed out loud. To those that have been touched by the disease we are helping to fight today, We wish the caregivers strength and tranquility, and thank them for their gifted labor of love. We wish the survivors a long and happy life, and thank them for showing us how to fight with courage and determination. We wish those currently fighting the battle energy and hope, and thank them for showing us what true bravery is all about. And finally, we wish the victims peace and love, and thank them for the joy and happiness they brought to us. With this symbolic gesture, we honor those that have left us and encourage those left behind to continue the fight On the Wings of Hope. ~ Legend
As you release this butterfly in honor of me, know that I'm with you and will always be.

As you release this butterfly in honor of me, know that I'm with you and will always be. Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me there. Although you may feel a bit torn apart, please know that I'll be forever in your heart. Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go, I'm right there with you more than you know.

To say I am saddened at this news is an understatement. Agnes was a great inspiration and emotive support. I had great respect for her empathy and efforts in support of animal rights. To our younger friends, please don't be offended when I say I feel an older person's voice in support of animals and Nature is in some ways more valuable because, at a comparable age level, it smacks the face of Governments and Industry who hold so much responsibility for their exploitation. Agnes was one of those valuable voices. Please don't let her efforts be in vain. God bless you and keep you, Agnes, till we meet.

I feel you in the morning When at first I awake Your thought is with me With each decision I make
You'd been around forever Since the first breath I took Now I have to go on alone But for love, I need not look
Cause by what you bestowed In our short time together Will last in my heart Forever and ever
Although you've left And now walk above I'm never alone I'm wrapped in your love
Enjoy now your long waited reward Feel peace that your love continues on What was taught to me, will be taught to mine Cause you live on in me even after you've gone

Rest in Peace, Dearest Agnes August 26, 2007 2:46 PM
I am so sorry to hear of your passing. Rest in peace, you are one of the Lord's ANGEL's now. My prayers to Agnes family and friends to comfort you all in this time of saddness. What a wonderful, caring, kind lady, always there to help a friend and esp an animal and Mother Earth. You will be missed, but never forgotten, dear friend. Thanks to all who kept us posted on our dear Agnes health and progress.
No more pain, no more sorrow, only peace and joy for all your tomorrow's.
Your spirit will live in us all, forever. Bless you, dear Agnes!
thank you Steve, but I don't want to take a chance on loosing the Tribute by adding it, and I was on that site earlier today. With Esstrellia gone too so fast, they are not suffering now and both their work and spirits, love and joy will carry on.

Although, I did not know Agnes, I know how much love she gave and received from her friends. I am sure she was a wonderful woman and her suffering is now ended. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of Alice's friends and family. May you be comforted knowing she is now in the arms of the Lord.

When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People dis- appear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the day-time, when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rain- bows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing wind- songs, they whisper to us, don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine. Author Unknown

My Pledge to Agnes and To You August 26, 2007 6:19 PM
I will defer much of what is in my heart until later. This much I must do now.
If I could put my arms around all of you at this site who have lost two beloved members, one after the other, I would feel ever so much better. I am hurting...many of us are hurting. Yet, you have been carrying on through the pain to keep this site going. I pledge to you that as a member of this group, I will draw closer...take on more...help you continue the work that she began. That all of us will help to see continue. I am reflecting now on some of the challenges she championed and which she lived to see come to fruition. Can you imagine that she was here and we were privileged to work with her...to love her and be loved by her!
I offer you my love, my condolences, and every resource I have at my disposal. May God be your fortress during these difficult days.
I have been to the prayer rooms and among the candles I did light was one for this group. I am one of you; you are part of me.
Looking to the night sky and uttering a prayer of gratitude--
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I got that in a forward. I have tears running down my face, with great sadness and pain. I loved her very much. She was a very dear friend for a long time now. She was a true model of LOVE, COMPASSION and COURAGE. It hurts so much...
IN LOVING MEMORY OF A WONDERFUL LADY AND A DEAR FRIEND! August 26, 2007 7:02 PM
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep I am a 1,000 winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sun on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn rain When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled light I am the soft star that shines at night Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there; I did not die.
Do not stand at my grave and forever weep. I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumns rain. When you awaken in the mornings hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and forever cry. I am not there. I did not die.
there was a moment, i can't remember when, but not that long ago, when this wonderful Spirit of a woman came into my life. Her name was Agnes. Fun & Fiery, Loving and Caring, Beautiful and Bright ~ and in her own very special way, so encouraging and always profoundly adamant that we be a 'VOICE FOR THE VOICLESS" .... you know ! and sometimes i wailed and she "fun'd " back at me.... never criticizing... but ALWAYS ENCOURAGING ! oh my soul sister Agnes was such a HUGE GIFT in my life. i will always continue to "hear" her voice in my heart as i will always continue to adore her SPIRIT.... for now Agnes you have "set sail" upon His Ocean of Mercy and into His Heavenly Kingdom where you will rise up and soar as on Eagles Wings! WE ARE ONE FOREVER IN THE LIGHT AGNES, DEAREST SOUL SISTER AND FRIEND ~ THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU GAVE TO US... WHAT AN AWESOME TEACHER & LEADER YOU WERE.... WE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN ... I WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.

I'm happy that your not in any pain nowand hope that your spirit is running free with your beloved Wolves you Loved so much. You will always be in my heart and thoughts God Bless you. I Love you. Love and Hugs Linda J,
I am in shock at this sad news. My sincerest condolences to the family... I had not known Agnes too well, and therefore had not known that she was so ill. With tears I say a prayer for her now departed spirit up in heaven - undoubtedly finally in peace from whatever had afflicted her.
She was like a light that alawys shined for us when we came to care2 Agnes was in our messages when we put art work or poems in Agnes would encourage you could see her smile from far away no matter how bad the day she encouraged and now she has gone away so Agnes Rest in Peace

To me, where I live, in the NW of the US, a most important symbol for health and identity to nature is the Apple tree.
Johnny Appleseed was in fact a real person who traveled the US and Canada planting these hardy trees their delicious and healthy fruit. I found out about him when I stumbled on his birthplace while trucking.
That is the spirit of tree planting !! Plant trees, especially fruit trees in her memory.
Rest in Peace sweet Friend August 27, 2007 10:45 AM
When I look to the heavens above, Somehow I feel you near. I think of how much I love you, And to me still so dear.
You were an angel sent to earth To fill our hearts with love A Forever Kind of Angel Sent from heaven above.
We didn't know you'd leave so soon That God for you would send. An angel would hold you in His arms, And heaven with you ascend. Uncomplaining and courageous, You smiled through all the tears. So much faith and understanding, Proclaimed throughout the years.
I'm thankful for the time we had For time we'll have again. Together we will be once more But only God knows when.
Until I see you once again, I'll hold you in my heart The sweet memories of my angel, From me will never part.
Thank you Agnes you helped me alot when I lost my Dear Bruce,hes waiting for me on the bridge please give him a hug for me,and thank you for all you did for everyone left here.My prayers are with your family now In loving memory JoAnn..

I know that it's the law of nature that we should all live for a while and then die.
I walked in my backyard this morning and saw the same baby horned lizard that I saw yesterday; in the same place even! I looked into his eyes and he got really sleepy looking, you know kinda' relaxed? I thought about how much I wanted him to be safe and not get eaten by any snakes or birds or anything else. I told him to be safe and my eyes teared up and my throat got that tight "holding back tears" feeling.
I realize that we all go...and talking to that little lizard kind of showed me that we just need to make our mark and help and influence others lives in the here and now. Because eventually, we'll all be gone.
that is beautiful Tinasark August 27, 2007 1:06 PM
What you said Tinasark is beautiful. I know that our love to nature and our experiences and love to each others as friends and family, is something that we keep growing and helping others is something that our beloved Agnes did.
I will plant a tree in her name also. But most important is that Agnes planted a seed of love and light in our hearts.
Agnes was one of the first people I met on Care2. Her caring spirit was inspirational to me. What I love about Agnes is that she was who she said she was-she was REAL. As I got to know her, I talked with her almost every day via e-mail on Care2 and AOL. We shared our daily lives and what was happening here and in Brazil. Before Agnes, I really didn't realize it was possible to love someone as a friend I'd never met, and yet, I know now it is when that person is truly herself and reaches out with open arms. There was no way I couldn't love Agnes and she was a part of my family, a part of the The Texas Gang she always asked about and sent kisses, hugs and love to. I could always count on Agnes to listen with an open heart and she was so open and sincere, I found it easy to love her, too, She got to know my whole family from Joe to my grown kids to the four furries-she knew them by name and disposition and loved to laugh about them. I in turn would invite her to go w/us on virtual trips and she would respond in kind and thank me letting her go along. This easy, give and no take friendship was the essence of who Agnes was to so many people. I told her she amazed me keeping up with her projects and so many people on her friend's list. When she asked for help, I felt honored and I was glad to be there for her. The world is a better place because Agnes lived-she made a real difference in so many lives and she cared so much. She was so loving-I just wanted to hug and love her back. Without her, the world is still a better place because of all the love she brought to the world while she was here. I will miss her forever and I'll never forget her, her simple wisdom, her kind heart. I love you, Agnes, rest peacefully, you've earned my friend. 10,000 Texas Oak Tree Hugs my friend and I will miss forever the 10,000 Brazilian tree hugs you sent me/us your Texas Gang. You were/are a special spirit and your energy will always be with us. I won't say good'bye. I'll say, see you later. love and hugs xxxxoooo jennieb
In Memory of our Belove. i meet her a couple times since ive been at care2 . a wonderfull . she will be missed .heaven is a much nicer place by haveing one more angle.
You are now one of God's special angels. I believe you will watch over us all with the loving care you gave during your life on earth. We will miss you, sweet Agnes, but you will remain in our hearts always.
I am trying to set up a guest book for Agnes at Legacy.com and am running into some problems.
Does Agnes have an obituary here in the United States (from family)?
This is what I received. If I can just come up with a U.S. obituary, I can start a guest book for her.
Dear Carole:
We do not currently work with any newspapers in South America.
If Agnes has friends and family here in North America, we recommend publishing an obituary with one of the local newspapers affiliated with us in any city of your choice. In the obituary, you can mention where she was originally from, or where she passed away.
Once the obituary and Guest Book are online, anyone in the world with internet access will be able to submit an entry to Guest Book.
Sincere condolences to the family...I will miss her soooo much! She was my angel friend....
From my garden to yours...
Rest in peace my dear friend...

Agnes did a lot of great activist work, as you probably know. She served as a role model to us all.
In consolation, please remember, everyone, that death is natural. It is the way of nature. Nothing is permanent. All things are transient. And if and when we accept this, we feel much more peaceful.
Nothing is ever forgotten so will be Agnes never forgotten with her love and for all that is.. Her spirit lives on forever and if we are still in our hearts and minds we will feel here still be with us in care 2 . Farewell sweet Agnes.. . love and blessings to you May the healing light of Great Spirit with your family and friends..
Her trees that she posted on my tree change will be always a sweet memory for me ... I will never forget her ... her gentle and loving spirit ..

I am here for you and I love you together we can find the answers. Love is the most powerful healing force there is. If we channel all the love here together it will serve to heal all of the loss and friendship of Agnes. She will always be missed by us all - but for those closest to her it is a hard road and we need to bring all our positive energies together to support them. Agnes I am sure would not like to see all the downheartedness - she would be happy for you all to CELEBRATE HER LIFE AND THE WONDERFUL PERSON THAT SHE WAS. Love, Light & Blessings. J
Thinking of you today dear Agnes, as every day. With love sweet one - remember that out of the eye, does not mean out of the heart ~Lynn

I've been away, and have only just discovered that Agnes has passed ad astra. We did not know each other long or well, but were friends anyway, talked of my having lived in Rio, and so forth, and I treasured her friendship.
Agnes, I am sure that flights of angels escorted you to your eternal rest. You will be missed.
