Subject: [MidAtlanticShowDogs] Barbara Alderman Heitzman PLEASE CROSS POST WIDELY: Barbara wants all of her friends and family in the dog world to see this message!!!! To All Our Many Wonderful Friends and Family From the Bottom of My Heart I thank you for the prayers, cards, letters, flowers and LOVE I lost my best friend of 48 years and the love of my life. He would tell me ?be tough? ? you can do this! He always wanted me to be independent. Easy to do with him here ? very difficult without him. Through all the years neither of us thought it would end, but it did. I brought George home. He was not cremated. He is above the ground in the sun he so loved at a beautiful place around the corner from our home on the farm in Pennsylvania , which is also his home town. I know in my heart George is in the ?arms of the angels? ? probably putting them in catalogue order and saying ?down and back one more time!!!? He always made me happy and made me laugh. He always said I was his straight man with his jokes. He loved the Dog World ? the dog shows, the exhibitors, especially the ones he could tease and he was ever so proud of his All Breed Status. Also a very big thank you to Deb for all of her help in Chicago . Because of her George received excellent care at the University of Chicago Medical Center and she also helped keep me sane most of the time. Thank you all ? you have all been a great support and thank you for caring so much for and about George. Love, Barbara Alderman Heitzman . ----------------- Ginger Cleary, Rome, GA http://www.rihadin.com/ My Ebay site <http://stores.ebay.com/The-Crafty-K9_W0QQssPageNameZl2QQtZkm> My Cafepress store <http://www.cafepress.com/thecraftyk9> Since when do we have to agree with people to defend them from injustice - Lillian Hellman, Playwright (1905-1984) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
