Diane,


I am so sad to read this news of Sarge passing.  It is never easy to lose a pet, especially one as admirable as Sarge.  You gave him the best life he could have ever had and he will always be with you....Best of luck to you as you greive for your friend.

Dear Diane,

I am so sorry to be only catching up with your loss now......I was offline all last week while my grandchildren were here.


I am so sorry about Sarge.  Where would we all be without him and without you?    How much  you have done for all of us because of him.  We are all so grateful for both of you.   


I know the rough road you have been on.  You have taken such wonderful care of him.  You were certainly a gift to him as he was to you.  He is with you always. 


Know that we are with you as you grieve and heal.


Barb

Diane,  I've been off the forum for a while, so I am sending my very belated condolences on your loss of Sarge.  We all owe Sarge and you an huge debt of gratitude for all you have both done for us and all the help we've had on our EPI journey.  I'm so sorry for your loss.
