Darlene I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time. God is with you and He will see you through this sad time in your life. I will always have the memory when i came to see the puppy you came and got from me. That puppy loved Mark and i am so glad he went to a loving home. Im glad he had so much farm to run in and his buddy Mark. That was something i will always remember. Prayers going up
