My friend died tonight....

[Soph the vet]

Her name was Rose, 58, victim of breast cancer. She was my friend and my coworker. We called her the "dog whisperer" at work as she could tame any beast that came through the door. I trusted her with any patient and sought her out for all the mean ones! Her mom was one of the inventors of the Gentle Leader (maybe you've used that for your dog).
She was a special lady and will be missed by so many here. I just wanted to honor her by sharing a little of who she was with all of you. I know there are a lot of dog lovers on this board and Rose was dogs best friend.

You ladies are all so sweet. I was doing OK until I read your responses...now I am teary again.

I was actually able to be with her last night and she could still speak then. She knew the Lord and was looking forward to seeing Him. But the loss is still there for us left behind. She is irreplaceable. Thanks again for all your condolences.
