RIP Sally Rose Williams - Born on Valentine's Day 1999, Died on Halloween 2009 (what a party dog!)

Sally Rose will be laid to rest today at noon up at Rob Koehler's land on Balarat Road. If anyone would like to attend, give me a call at (3o3) 545-55o2 and I will give directions. Our deepest thanks to Buddy and Rob and ALL of the friends who will be helping with this hard, incredibly sad task.

Sally was SO LOVED BY SO MANY in this commUNITY that her KID friends have asked if we will have a funeral for her. Many of these kids grew up with Sally and I respect their need for closure, so we will have a memorial service in Jamestown's Little Park soon for everyone who ever loved and lost their dear, dear pets. All of Sally's doggie friends will be welcome too. More info to follow...

In the meantime, we deeply appreciate EVERY SINGLE KIND WORD, PICTURE, HUG, PHONE CALL, LOVING THOUGHT, AND BIT OF SUPPORT that we have received from all of you.
