[Flagdu] David Bearden & Upton

[Sherrill O'Brien]

Hello  to all,
I'm so very sorry to hear this news.  I spoke with David last 
Tuesday following Upton's surgery to remove the tumor from his 
leg.  Following this, Upton got to spend a little precious time 
at home before crossing the Rainbow Bridge.  I know we all join 
in sending our thoughts and prayers to David as he mourns the 
loss of his beloved friend.

Dear Fellow Federationists,
    For some reason David Bearden is unable to post to this list.  
We are getting that taken care of.  David called me yesterday 
afternoon and asked that I let you know that His faithful guide 
dog, Upton, crossed the Rainbow Bridge Friday morning.  The 
cancer was very aggressive and Upton was in a great deal of pain, 
so David made the difficult decision to release Upton from his 
pain.  I know how difficult it is to let our four-legged famly 
members go and my thoughts and prayers are with David and his 
family.  R.I.P.  Upton!
