I don't even know what to call this. I need a hug.

I need a hug. Could you please, please, send out well wishes and good thoughts for my dad? :(

My mom (she was my stepmom but we were super close) passed away tonight. She was registered here as julie ficenec. Julie Ann Ficenec was a kind, compassionate person. She was heavily involved with breeding, training, showing, and rescuing GSDs practically her whole life (training dogs for schutzhund since the age of sixteen). She was a veterinary technician for fifteen years.

We had fun and good times together. You will be missed and remembered. We love ya, R.I.P.

Awww...honey I am so sorry!! How is your dad doing??? That is just awful news. I am sending prayers your way! RIP Julie.

PLEASE take care! How wonderful that you had that closeness...good memories help...

That is sad news...RIP.

I am so sorry. My prayers and well wishes are with you and your father and family.

Sending you great big hugs.

And remember, death does not win, because love lives on. She will still be part of this world through not only you, but every life she touched, through her rescue work and just through everyday life.

Rest in Peace, dear lady, and I imagine there's quite a raucous chorus to greet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

HUGS! I am so sorry! Prayers are with you and your family

Thank you so much everyone. :( I told my dad that there are a bunch of wonderful people who are thinking and praying for him and he really appreciates it all! :)

Today is the day that the mortuary can meet back with him and give him exact dates for everything and *hopefully* we can find out the cause of death. :(

And when we get to Pendleton, we won't be on the computer much so you might receive updates from DJFyrewolf or dionne but I will try to be on in between things.

Again, thank you much for being here for us in a very difficult time. :( You all are such fantastic people! :)

We all thank you all again for your support! :)

The only thing they've (mortuary, etc) told us, so far, is when the services will be.

Does anyone know of some top notch flower services? I am looking to get some flowers and I want to find a pink (her fave colour) or red arrangement. I am *hoping* to get roses or tulips (her fave flowers) or maybe one of the lily varieties.

*hugs*

CALL the Mortuary / Funeral Home that is making her arrangements -
talk to the Funeral Director that is assisting your family -

Ask him or her to assist you with the floral pieces ...
ALL Funeral Homes have a "go to" florist they feel comfortable with and
whom they rely on to provide
flowers and arrangements when the Funeral Home must provide them.
Then call THAT Florist and state your request ... mention that "Mr. X, from XYZ Funeral Home",
told you to call - the Florist will bend over backwards to help you!

AVOID dealing with the 1-800 florists or an out-of-town florist ...
they're more expensive, have no personal involvement with making the arrangement, and often make mistakes in delivering on time.

My Sympathies to You and Dad.
