Dear Coleman Family -- I am so very sorry for your loss. I do remember your mother as a very warm, generous woman. Many years ago we bred our beloved family pet Corky with Carol's beloved family pet Suzie, resulting in a barrel of dachshund puppies that brought joy to our two families and others. Carol was so good to share with us a part of your family's life. May she & your father rest in eternal peace.
