Lives forever changed...

every once in a while you get the honor of meeting someone who lives for and by their convictions. truly. wholeheartedly. who inspires you to do the same. we lost a dear friend on the 10th. though it brings some peace knowing that dorothy has gone on to be with checkers..lady..ginger..and so many others that have gone before her... it still hurts. i've never been part of the horse world without her being a phone call away. she inspired my childhood dreams. she challenged my desires and ideas to help shape them into something solid. she taught, critisized and encouraged my teachers heart. she was tough...with a heart the size of the moon. she gave her entire life to the call on her heart to provide safe horses for kids so that their lives could be changed...and they were. thousands of them. with thousands more to come, through those that were changed by her, her horses and the Progressive Horsehmanship Program... "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." john 15:13

the viewing will be held Friday, March 13 from 2-4:30 at McKinney Funeral Home, 54 west main st., Youngsville, PA.
