Caroll worked with many greyhound rescue groups, always willing to take in greyhounds in need. She took in her old fosters and kept and loved them. I will miss having her contact me when one of them passed away. My sincere sympathy to George and her family.
Rich and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you comfort in this difficult time.
Terri and Family I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. As a fellow rescuer I took great joy in listening to Terri talk about her mom and her greyhounds. She was so devoted to them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
