[Md-sligo] Sad News

[Janice Toothman]

I have sad news. Lydia and I had to make the decision to put Destiny 
down.  Her cancer had spread to her stomach and she was in pain. Lydia 
said with her and Destiny's head was in her lap when they gave her the 
medicine to put her to sleep and then to slowly stop her heart.

I am thankful to God for having Destiny as a guide dog and the years of 
faithful service and companionship she provided.  She became my eyes and 
ears when out and about.  She was so intuitive, outgoing, gentle, 
sweet.  I miss her terribly.  The decision for Lydia and Jim to care for 
her in her retirement was a blessing to them and I am forever grateful 
for their love, compassion and generosity that showed Destiny and 
continue to show me now that she has died.

There are so many decisions and things to do for the Convention in a 
little over a month but I am at a loss right now to do any of it.

Thank you for all your support and prayer my Sligo Family,
Janice
