To some she seemed "unusual", but to all she had a heart of gold. For those of us who knew Dayna Frazier, our lives have been enriched a thousand fold. For literally hundreds of fuzzies, she gave hope to the hopeless, comfort to the sick, and love to the unloved. She sacrificed greatly to help her "fur babies", many times going without the most basic essentials for herself. And while in California, she did so at great personal peril. At the end, she sacrificed her life in a last valiant attempt to care for her fuzzies. I recall an event several years ago, when one summer California was having a record heat wave. Dayna, who lived very modestly, wrote and told me that the air conditioner that cooled her shelter (where many fuzzies were sick or recovering from surgery) had broken. (Her own home did not have an air conditioner -- the fuzzies were more important). Understandably, she was very worried. By that evening, I had an air conditioner on a jet winging its way to Dayna's aid. It was a small price to pay for the eternal friendship of such a special person, and a pittance when compared to all the miracles she performed while here on earth. 'Tis a sad day for those of us whom she left behind, but what a joyous celebration there must be at Rainbow Bridge! Farewell, dear friend. May you rest in peace.
