[Oagdu] Bella

[Deanna Lewis]

Debbie,
My heart is aching for you! I am so sorry to hear this.
I will miss Bella, she was quite a wonderful guide and had such a great personality. It’s never an easy decision.
Sending you a virtual hug for now, but will give you a real one at the Board meeting in a few weeks!
Deanna

Dear friends,

Today I made the painful decision to euthanize Bella after just shy of three months of her battle with lymphoma.  We weathered 7 chemo treatments to fight the cancer, knowing that it was treatable, not cureable.

The seventh treatment was a different drug regimen, but of similar cost to the previous two treatments.

She had six or seven blessed weeks of happier time and light guide work.  I feel true gratitude to all my family and friends for your prayers, transportation, and especially monetary help and well wishes.
