SAD NEWS FOR OUR DK & DRC FAMILIES

With heavy hearts and tears, we are sad to share the news of the sudden and untimely passing this past Friday of one of our most beloved DK & DRC family members, Joyce Berry; best friend. life partner and wife of our own Dane Berry (Guinness, Rosco & Honey), Doodle mom to Guinness, Rosco (DRC Class of 2010) and Honey (DRC Class of 2013).

Not many were aware that Joyce had been battling with health issues on and off over this past year. Always putting others before herself, Joyce did not want to burden friends and family with worry. Especially, when a routine scan revealed the unthinkable just 3 weeks ago; a very aggressive form of pancreatic cancer was rapidly spreading throughout her body.

Joyce was at home in the loving arms and care of her beloved Dane when she passed peacefully in her sleep. She was surrounded by her doodle babies who seemed to instinctively know that their momma was sick and about to leave them. One by one, they gently crawled up on the bed next to Joyce and never left her side.

Please join us in extending our prayers, support and deepest heartfelt sympathies to our dearest friend Dane, the Berry fur-kids Guinness, Rosco and Honey and to the entire Berry Family.

Condolences can be sent via mail to:

Berry Family / Berry Oaks Doodle Ranch
P.O. Box 237
Black Creek, GA 31308

Dane has asked us to include that Joyce requested donations in lieu of flowers, be made to Doodle Rescue Collective Inc. in her name.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dane, Joyce and their pack after they adopted Honey. What a lovely lady she was. I am so very sorry for their family's loss. There are no words...
