Dear Patrick and Brandon,
Your loss of Stormy reminds us all of our much loved pets be they cat or dog, fish or bird, etc. God created them and placed them on this earth to teach us about love. A very special love between a boy and his dog... Remember the good times you had together and accept that you gave Stormy all the love and nurturing you possibly could; just as Stormy did you. Remember the gift...Stormy made it possible for you to love again because you loved and gave love. Guys, don't be hard on yourselves. Be good to each other and remember the good times...
Love, Danalee
: Folks, please remember my (16 yr old) son Patrick in your prayers.
: He just missed being injured in a very nasty house fire at a friends house (no human life was hurt), where he lost his dog, who he'd had since he was about 6 yrs old.
: Stormy was his dog before they couldnt keep her any longer & he gave her to his buddy Brandon.
: Patrick is very angry at God right now, wondering why "he'd let" his dog die like this.
: I went over to see him at his Mom's, & take some food & pots 'n' pans for his friends family, & Patrick is putting up a brave front, but I could see & feel the pain. It breaks my heart :-(

: I'm writing to let you know that Patrick is really in need of prayer, as well as his friend Brandon's family. Their house burnt down last night. Brandon tried to save Stormy, but could not get in. They were just coming off of the front porch to leave when the house imploded. No one is hurt and that we have to thank God for.
: I have been busy trying to get whatever I can together for them. Brandon is here. Both he and Patrick are in shock and very sad over the loss of Stormy. I appreciate your prayers.
