Well this is heartbreaking after such a long hard bravely fought battle. Our hearts go out to her daughter and family.

I didn't want to be the one to post this, but I haven't seen it yet and I think many people want to know. Lori Hathaway passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. She fought successfully for more than a decade, until very recently when she fell ill quickly. Her passing will leave a huge hole in the Northeast Shepherd world. Lori and her daughter, Abbey Hathaway, of Stonewall German Shepherds, were an inseparable team. To my knowledge, there will not be a memorial service. Lori's first show dog was Sel CH Balsam Biscayne V Wellspring (Cider), who went Sel 4 under Ed Barritt. Lori and Abbey are the breeders of CH Stonewall's Incandescense ROM; Am/Can CH Stonewall's She's Got the Look TC HIC; CH Stonewall's Dallas; CH Stonewall's Cherry Cola TC;? BIF CH Stonewall's The Perfect Blend; CH Stonewall's Fast Lane; CH Stonewall's Firefly; RWB 2006 Can National Am CH Stonewall's Cherry Cordial; BIF BOM CH Stonewall's Esmerelda; CH Stonewall's Twin Cam Traveler; as well as many more. Abbey handled nearly all of them. (www.stonewallgermanshepehrds.com) Abbey will need help in placing several dogs in forever homes. Other show pups and prospects will soon be available to approved show homes. A list is available on gsdbydesign.com's Litter Box page. If anyone is interested, please contact me at gretchanya@xxxxxxx or at 603-746-6847. You are welcome to contact Abbey, but I imagine she will be busy with her family for the next several days. ----------------------------- Becky T.
