Sudie had such a big heart for people and animals. She is with Tom, her sisters and Mom, and who could even guess how many dogs. I pray I will see her with all of them when I get to Heaven. I am so sorry for all her family in their temporary loss. But you will be with her again. Praise the Lord for her loving soul.
