We met as Christian members of Gloria Dei Evangelical Lutheran Church. George and yourself were hard working, warm, wonderful friends to have. Tears and prayers were intermingled in our hearts throughout your illness, as we marveled at the strength and courage you showed very often with a smile on your face.

We feel sad that we will no longer share your smiles but we know that you are in Heaven where the angels are now sharing them with you and one day we will share them again.

Our love of dogs brought us together. Surely humans and canines alike will miss her humanity. The world is a sadder place since she's gone. But the rainbow bridge is gloriously overjoyed at her entry!!
