Sad news

A friend from agility training and our pet therapy group here suffered a stroke Friday night. She was found on the floor of her house unconscious on Saturday when she unexpectedly failed to show up for an important pet therapy function. She was taken to the hospital but yesterday her brain started to swell and another clot was found. The doctors said half of her brain had died and she would never walk or talk or understand anyone again. Anyone who knows Marlene knew she would not want to live that way and the family has decided to let her pass on-she went peacefully this evening.

We will all miss Marlene very much. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.
