Conroe, TX Saturday, November 19, 2011 The friendship we shared is one of the best I have ever had. It's amazing how much Great Danes influence our lives. Had it not been for a dog show and a Great Dane there would have never been the remote possibility that I ever would have met Lisa & Jerilyn. I always knew that God worked in mysterious ways and I have the proof of that in this friendship of 15 years. My prayers are with Jerilyn and I know Lisa is shining down on all of us.God Bless You as Lisa is resting in peace.
Love

May the following help you ~ “You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.” ♥ Sue and DoyleCecile Grant VanZandt
