In Memory of Sebastian Bach, the Tortoise

Last night the House on Strathmore suffered a major loss. Sebastian Bach, the Russian Tortoise who lived with John for a number of years, has passed on to the great under the bed storage container in the sky.

Sebastian was given to John as a birthday gift and named after the great rock singer and leader of the rock group Skid Row. Through his lifetime Sebastian shared with John many great adventures including a summer in Ocean City and moves all over the state of Maryland.

Memorial Services will include a burial in the yard of bamboo behind our house as soon as weather allows and in the spring time we will dedicate a section of the garden in Sebastian's honor.

In closing, Sebastian, we all will remember you:

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this unfortunate news! I figured if Sebastian survived living with a picture of Bobbie's giant domepiece taped above his food dish, he could survive anything! He was definitely the coolest turtle I ever met...I'm sorry for your loss. Take care!
