This page is a tribute to my beautiful sister that passed on June 29, 2007. After a 14 year battle with Breast cancer and then bone cancer. We all miss her so, her laugh, her smile and love of life. She loved our poodles ,she had a special bond with our Elsie who wanted to protect her and be with her.
She shared so much with others and remained positive until her final days. Words cannot describe how deeply saddened we are. She touched so many lives in her short 50 years right down to her 3 year old Grandson.
A Mockingbird will sing for her, forever.
I will always believe things happen in mysterious ways. My sisters best friend Sharla flew down for the service and while she was at our home, she told me she was ready for a dog and Standard Poodles were on her list of 2 breeds. After falling in love with our poodles, she new that was the breed for her. When she realized non of ours were going to fit in her suitcase, I told her of my friend Ginny's beautiful Parti-Color from Denmark. He was at his trainers in Baton Rouge, La. After returning home to Annapolis Md and all the formalities were worked out. She drove to La and picked up this wonderful 28" Standard Poodle, named Beethoven. Pictures of Sharla and Beethoven are on this page.
