Mom,

Thank you for such a wonderful tribute!

What I said before bears repeating (although you COULD blame it on age ). Everyone here has become connected by a special bond, our love for our pets. And it's that bond that has made us such wonderful, close caring people.

I truly don't know what I would've done if it hadn't been for everyone here's support, love and compassion. I took a big step moving 663 miles away. It was very difficult in the beginning. But you all gave me strength, courage and judspah (sp?) to try something different for the very first time in my life.

After everything that has happened in my short time in Michigan, you were there, maybe not physically, but emotionally and spiritually. And for that I say, I love you all very much.

And a special THANK YOU to Paul and Karen for creating this special place.



HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!
