VGSR sends deepest regrets to Jim and Karen Bruns on the passing of Ashby and Baka on July 12, 2008. Jim and Karen write,

"Hello All,

Many of you have already heard that Baka and Ashby joined their stillborn sister at the Rainbow Bridge on Saturday. It seems the reason they could not walk were many. They both had very serious congenital birth defects of the joints, heart and other places. The house feels empty without them. Princess is doing okay, she was already spending more time away from them in the days before they died. Please remember them in your prayers."
