Les Dove, our Co-Coordinator for District 9 passed away evening of May 4, 2008. Les had been ill for quite some time. Please keep him and his wife Shari in your thoughts and prayers. Please pray for strength for his loved ones he has left behind. I know Les is now healthy and whole in Heaven making sure that all cresteds that cross over get special treatment, just as he provided special treatment for those in need here while on earth. Many of us had the pleasure and privilege of working with Les for many years and spending time with both he and Shari in Ohio and Branson. We will always treasure those times with fond memories from playing with dogs, to talking about rescue, to tossing rolls together at Lamberts. Les was a kind and gentle soul who could also be tough as nails at times when needed, to get a dog out of a bad situation and into rescue. God speed Les. You lived well. You left the world a much better place for lots of little rescues, one little one at a time. We will greatly miss you.......watch over our little waifs in Heaven. We love you.
