I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Sheldon since I was 14. He's always felt like part of the family, and was a great friend to my mother, Joyce, and my stepfather, Bob. When my mother died, and I had to assist Bob with care from an hour away, Sheldon made sure to keep an eye on things when I couldn't. All I had to do was call, and he'd take a ride over and make sure things were okay. He was an excellent friend to Bob, especially during those difficult years.

And the nice part was that I got to know Sheldon even better during the last seven years. We spent many hours on the phone talking. He had a good heart, and loved dogs as much as I do. I'd like to believe Sheldon is reunited with Bernice now, for he missed her so much since her passing.

I am praying for all of you during this difficult time.
