Re: Typing through tears....our belle Belle
I am sitting at my computer and the tears just wont stop. This truly is hard to take. We all know that this can happen to any of us at any time but when it does its just so darn sad. I feel so bad for what her family is going through right now but I know that she is in a better place and she has won her race.

Re: Typing through tears....our belle Belle
Although unique, Belle was like many on this forum, a testament to the human spirit. My condoleneces to her family and friends. I pray that someday this disease will be at the very least transitioned to a managable chronic condition.
