Sad news
From Jay and Julie:
It is with heavy hearts that we write to let you know that our mom, Pat Collier, passed away at 5:35 at this morning [Monday, November 23].
She was comfortable and peaceful yesterday afternoon, and we had a chance to spend quiet time with her as she began slipping away. Overnight, she had been breathing calmly and then she simply stopped.
As we grieve, we remember Mom’s impact on our lives, the ways that we will carry her memories forward, and the lines of Lhasa Apsos that she stewarded for 25 years.
We will be planning a celebration of her life in the spring, and canine companions will be especially welcome.
Thank you for all of your love and support over these many years.
