Abby and I were cousins. I hadn't seen Abby in probably fifty years but spoke to her right after her daughter passed away. I'm sorry that we hadn't kept in better contact with one another. Condolences to the family. Hopefully perhaps the rest of Abby's family will keep in touch. Rest in Jesus arms Abby June.....

What a loss for this world. Abby was one of the most compassionate and intelligent people I have ever known. She was also very generous with her gifts. She didn't talk about changing the world for the better, she did it with her actions. I miss her, as so many people in the Keeshond world do. She was known worldwide for her rescue efforts, and brought so much happiness to so many people because of the dogs she saved and rehomed. She will never be forgotten. My condolences to you Ron, Jerrod, Adam, and Zach.

Abby, I'm sorry we lost touch through the years. I believe the last time we talked was the Earl May store in Clive. Not only were you the best artist of the class of 73 at Central Dallas, but probably the best artist from Central Dallas period. May God look over you & your family.
