I am saddened to hear of the death of Mrs. Cunningham. Although I never met her in person, I did speak to her on the telephone about her beloved dog, Mozart who has been in my loving care for the past two years. Don and Sue Cunningham are dear friends of mine. May all of the family find comfort in the love and care that they provided her. Love and Blessings.
