So sorry too hear of your loss Max. We didn't realize you were back living here. I still remember the years we spent working together. Russell and Bronwyn Dowdle

Max we are so very sad to hear of Sue's sudden passing. You are in our prayers. It was nice knowing you both and Sue's passion for the dogs went beyond caring . You take care of yourself. Regards Ali and Chris
