Paula, though I had few occasions to spend time with your dear Seymour, they were special. I was happy to share my pug, Lily, with Seymour at Bressi ActivCare; Lily was awfully fond of him.

Bless you dear Paula .. What a terrible shock. In speaking with you last Monday, I was so praying you we're just experiencing a bump in the road.

Fondly, Patti Biletnikoff
