Pickett and Lynn will miss Marie. We visisted Eleanor yesterday and it was so sad not to see MARIE too. I'm so glad Pick wandered into their room one day. They invited us to visit, and we did..again and again. That rescue dachshund was so shy and afraid on his 1st visit. Marie commented how he had more confidence now. Marie and Eleanor helped him become more social. They were his therapy. How cool is that!?

I remember Marie and Curvin from when I was very young. My mother and father absolutey adored her. I remember being quite fond of her. She was very nice to me. It is bittersweet to see her obituary. It is nice to know she has been with us till now.
Curvin, feel free to contact me.
