[NAGDU] doggy repo

Tracy, I agree.
 additionally we or a group of people should try to actually connect with this poor lady and give her some moral and emotional support at this horrible time.

Perhaps Marion could arrange something where a small group of people talk to her on a regular basis and potentially those living in Florida could meet up with her just for comfort.
