IN REMEMBRANCE OF DIZNEY: The White Roses on the Altar last Sunday were in remembrance of
DIZNEY, a 12 1/2 year old Golden Retriever and certified Pet Therapy Dog. Dizney
loved volunteering with Carol at Avera-McKennan, Sanford, the Veterans Hospital,
and many assisted-living centers, hospice, elementary schools, and libraries in and
around Sioux Falls. His sweet gentle demeanor helped cheer patients and staff over
the past seven years. Dizney gave away all the love in his golden heart before joining
his friends at the Rainbow Bridge on Friday, July 11. Dizney is loved by his family,
Carol and Dan Everetts of Harrisburg along with Dandy, Davy and Dino.
