[nagdu] an update on my friend

Fri Apr 13 00:17:16 UTC 2012

Jenny, 

Very glad you joined us. I understand your hurting, it will take time to
heal from the hurt. *hugs* 

I am Marsha, working my second guide from TSE, Emma. Emma is 6 1/2 years
old, GSD. I am totally blind and hard of hearing. As well as a full time
student at Temple University in Philadelphia PA. My husband and I are pretty
active in the NFB. 

I am also the Moderator of the list, so if there is anything, please let me
know at: marsha.drenth at gmail.com

Marsha

Hello,

I am the person Loral is talking about.  

You won't hear much from me on this list because I just retired my dog and
with everything that has happened on the other list I'm just not going to
open my mouth or heart about anything.  My heart is too broken and hurt to
take that kind of stuff anymore.  

My husband has one of the messages I was sent, but I deleted the second.  I
was not aware of the foul names or threats that were made against me until
Loral let me know about the messages she was sent.

I just wanted you to know that I did subscribe to this list, but you won't
see me post.  I'm frankly too hurt, fragile, and afraid to get retaliation
from anyone else.

thank you for your support and I'm interested to see what all of you have to
write about your wonderful guides.

Jenny
