Thank You
Tory and I would like to thank everyone for the cards,flowers, candy and hugs we have received. While nothing will take away the sorrow we feel they all help. It has been great to be surrounded by people who understand our loss.
We will never forget Fellow and loved him dearly in spite of his "little " horse syndrome. He had so much potential!Tory will never forget the thrill of jumping him - he made it all so easy no matter the height. We will never forget that little face looking at us from his stall as we entered the indoor whinnying to say HI! We will never forget the day he tried to take on Gerry in the paddock and,after Gerry picked him up by the scruff of the neck and threw him, how he ran to the gate to come out. The last time we saw him at Tufts and he was back to being his inquisitive pushy little self.
We would like to thank June for being so much more than a trainer during this time - you have been so supportive,loving and kind.You have taken the time every day to make sure we are doing ok and the frequent phone calls have really helped.
We would like to thank Michelle for taking time from her last day with Ira to trailer Fellow to Tufts - what would I have done without you!
Debbie and Chelsea , Thank you for driving me to Tufts and staying with me all of that Saturday. You kept my mind busy and my spirits up.
Again, Thank you everyone.
