R.I.P. Gypsy

Gypsy has taken her last trip to the vet. She was approximately 12 years old.
She was a rescue. She had been found, profoundly ill, in a dumpster. We think she was barely full grown when we adopted her. When my husband first picked her up, she squirmed up to bury her face in his beard; they have been deeply attached ever since.
Two weeks ago she sprained her hip, and reacted very badly to the pain. We sedated her for 3 days, and she seemed to perk up some, but then went into a downward spiral-- probably organs that were stressed when she was small failed under the more recent stress.
