[nagdu] Sad News, Nala Passed away tonight

[John Doering]

Mardi,
Sorry to hear of your loss.  It is even more distressing when it is so 
sudden.  Was Nala retired or still working?  A dog guide is so much more 
than a pet.  They are your guide, friend, companion, and protector.
She is now across the Rainbow Bridge in a happy place.

Take care,
JD
