[Nfbf-l] FW: homecoming

[Holly]

Hello Sherrill,
Congratulations on you new parter, I want wait to meet her. I am so glad
that you made friends with my friend that was in your class. I know you were
an inspiration to her. I cannot wait until she is back.
I know that getting a new guide dog partner was a hard decision for you to
make. I think you made the right one.
Holly
