I got one of the most upsetting and depressing messages this morning...that one of my friends had unfortunately passed away. I literally have been crying all day. Her name was Patricia Barnes, I personally met her 24 years ago, my mentor and second mom, met her 30 years ago. Her passing was unforseen, as she was doing everything in her power to follow a healthier track. Her love for life, pets, people and God was unmatched. Her smile, and even her very presence, lit up any gloomy space. She had her gorgeous sheltie named Samantha (picture has always hung in the shop), then over time adopted other pups that had been abandoned with me. Her husband John is grieving, as are all those who know her. Please take an extra moment tonight and send up an extra prayer for this amazing woman tonight. Patty.. I love you... I miss you...you are not alone and please tell Samantha, Vanessa and Coco that I love you all! 😭😥
