Thank you so much guys for the Congrats! This was one of the happiest and saddest days of my life. I have been dreaming of the day that I would finish Taz and when it happened it was a feeling of absolute exhilaration and joy! I know that God had every point planned so that I might learn and grow through the experience and so that I might be a witness to His overwhelming grace. It is hardest to learn to trust Him, but he is faithful even though we are weak.

The sadness came earlier that morning when I received a call that my very good friend had succumbed to her battle with Breast Cancer (that had spread to her bone, back, pelvis, and stomach) and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She was truly the strongest person I know. She was diagnosed at 40 when she had her first mammogram and it had already spread to her bone at that time. She passed at the young age of 45. I know now that she is no longer in pain and in the care of the Lord Jesus.

My heart breaks to hear of your friend's battle with Breast Cancer! It is truly a tough battle to fight and so sad that it takes our beloved friends and family so young!

I do have to say I am super proud of you...it really makes me smile to see an owner-handled champion, especially is such a competitive breed! Congrats and give that boy a kiss of congrats for me! Hugs to you...

Oh Sonja, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I pray that the peace that passes all understanding will surround you at this time and you will feel the presence of the Lord as close as your next breath.

Sonja I'm so sorry to hear about your friend! You know she's in God's capable hands now and not suffering.
You and her family will be in my prayers!
