This may seem like an unusual tribute, because I am a dog. I am a Great Pyrenees and my name is Dahlia. A while ago, Uncle Vinny said I was welcome in his store any time and, ever since then, I have been making regular visits to see Katherine and get a "do-do" (doughnut). I look forward to this trip with Dad every Tuesday. Sometimes Katherine even saved a day old doughnut just for me. Mom and Dad even joked that they were going to get me a money pouch, so I could pay Katherine all by myself for my do-do. Dad explained to me what happened to Katherine, but of course, I don't really understand. There's going to be a Tuesday soon when Dad and I walk through those doors of Vinny's and I'm going to be sad that my friend is not there to greet me. To Katherine's family, Mom and Dad are so sorry for your loss. Maybe, some day, Katherine and I can meet at the Rainbow Bridge and have a do-do together. Much love, Dahlia, Kristen and Carl
