Fly where on

The Butterfly has Wings of Cloth
The Moth has Wings of Flame
The Inchworm has no wings at all
But Gets There just The Same

A very special lady. Our loss is heaven's gain.

 Rest in peace Di...

Di indeed was special. She had character
and substance. She remained true to her
convictions and values.
Her beliefs were never compromised
by a desire for approval.
Her kindness was never diluted by a
desire for convenience.
Her loyalty was absolute.
May you always be held safe
in the palm of His hand.

Susanne Isbill

Dear Di,
Gone but never forgotten.
Thanks for all the things you have done for humans and furkids.
Miss you
Rest in Peace,
love Leo, Emma and all our furkids.

Cher Jeff,
Quelquefois Dieu fait des choses que nous ne comprenons pas, mais que nous acceptons dans nos coeurs, car il a forcement eu une bonne raison de nous enlever Di. de la façon dont il l'a fait.
Nous avons appris tout au long de notre vie que dans une situation comme celle -là, nous devons garder en mémoire une prière de sérénité.
Di vous êtes maintenant dans les mains de Dieu et vous allez nous manquer à toutes et tous.
Josette et Jean-Claude Delarge

Dear Jeff,
Sometimes God does things we don't understand but we truly believe in our hearts of hearts that he had a good reason for taking our Di from us when he did it. We have learned over and over in our life that in situations like this we just keep repeating the Serenity Prayer.. Di, you are in Gods hands now and we will all miss you
Josette and Jean-Claude Delarge
 

Di, you will always live in my heart, you did do much for our beloved Tzus
and for "our" Patsy. You will be remembered for ever from all of us.
You were a special person. !
Love Bruna
 

I sure will miss having you with us on the group! You did put your mark on me!
Please take care of all those needing tzu... and watch over those in need.
I know that was important to you!
Sonia Pitre
 

God bless you and keep you safe in His arms.

We are all better people for having known her. Godspeed, Di.

Di,
I was just starting to get to know you. And what a start! You were the beginning of the road to saving my baby's life.
You took the time to help we with small things....from computer pages onward.
I saw your big heart and am proud to call you a friend.
God speed sweet Di.
Barb Durtche
 

Dear Di, for sure I still am your friend across the big blue ocean here in the lower part of the Netherlands.
May you find the peace you deserve and the love ones of you find the powers to go on now you left a very empty place behind.
I will miss you and love you of what you were but in my mind and belevings still are.
May you live in full piece live somewhere up there hopefully aside a rainbow bridge with many Tzu as you like them so much.

I was able to meet Di at the Nationals in St. Louis some years ago, chatted with her on 4U for years, and worked with her on her last rescue calendar. She was a special lady and I will always consider her a friend. I've missed her the past year or so; now I will miss her even more. My heart goes out to her friends and family. I am shocked and saddened by her sudden death.

Hope you and Sealy are having a wonderful reunion, Di.

Lynda Siegel
 

She was a friend to me when I was sick and in the hospital. She would write private messages to me to keep my spirits up and she was always concerned when anyone's babies were sick or not doing well. I'm sorry we didn't make up after a spat we had. Now it's too late. I'll always regret that.

Di, You always spoke your mind and meant what you said. The Shih Tzu Rescue world has lost a very special lady, all of the efforts you have made to improve the conditions of many animals lives would never have been possible without all of your time and energy. Thank you for being the person that you were, the world is truly going to miss a very special person. But we have one consolations, you have been reunited with your special Sealy.

A very special lady who has touched so many hearts" Thankyou
Alison Kesterton

 

Di was the very first person I came into contact with online after adopting my first Shih Tzu, Lakota. I'll never forget her warmth and generosity when I had questions or the giggles she got when I bought a Tzu Police T-shirt and posed Lakota in it with a mini police hat and sent it to her. I'll always remember how she laughed when I added little Piper to my Tzu family one month after getting Lakota. She had a very special heart that touched us all deeply. She is missed beyond words.
Much love and condolences.
Cathleen, Lakota and Piper

Di will be missed by many, her work on earth must have been done,
and she was taken much to quickly from all who loved her.
But the beautiful memories of her will always remain.
My deepest sympathy to you, her family.
May you find peace in knowing she was loved by so many.

How awful...I remember her from another list (a few years ago). How awful...Thoughts and prayers to her family...

I was so very shocked to get a phonecall about Di's passing. My heart goes out to all of her family and to everyone who was touched in some way by this very special lady.

I always thought it was just wonderful how Keith and Di got along so well. And some but not all of you know, that I would not have a web site if it was not for Di. She was head strong and said what she thought, but I think that is what set her apart from so many.
For those of you that have Boo Babies, you have all received Licker Licenses, Di is the one that created them and used her graphic, that she created, but ended up not using at some point. So it is because of Di, that you have those wonderful pieces of paper.
Di will be missed by so many, as she has touched so many people in one way or another. Did we all see eye to eye, no.....but that doesn't change the way we felt.
Thank you Di for all the wonderful things you have done for many of us. We will miss you.
I am sure Di wouldn't mind me sharing these photos. The is a picture she had sent in of Sealy that I saved .
Here are the pictures I have of Sealy.

I just wanted to write and tell all of you how sorry I was to hear about Di. I never got to meet her but talked to her several times by phone. She was an extraordinary person. She did so much and touched so many lives. Please except and pass on the family my condolences.

Although I didn't know Di very well, I do know how much the tzus and rescue meant to her. She was their Guardian Angel. Now she is resting peacefully with all those that have crossed the bridge and watching over those that need her help.
Lynn
 

I did not know Di Boege but she sounds like an incredible woman. She will be loved and remember for the great woman she is. Anyone who thinks of those who can not speak for themselves, is to always be rememberd.
Stefanie
 

I would like to add that Di's husband signed her up to this list for her birthday and after joing she learned about rescue and became very involved in helping raise money for rescues.
Di and Keith, another member of our list that Di met on the list, worked together to design many items that were sold to help rescue. They did this with her in the US and him in the UK. I don't think he would mind me sharing this part of the website with all.

Di and I emailed frequently for a while and phoned when she was ill a few years ago and my daughter was ill at the same time.
What a wonderful woman she was and so inspiring.

I am heartbroken at the world's loss of such a caring, strong woman.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love & Prayers,
Jeannie Gall
 

Shih tzus have lost a wonderful protector and friend, as have the humans who knew Di. She is reunited with her beloved Sealy at last, but much too soon. With deepest sympathy to her family and friends,

Di and Sealy

Together for Eternity

I never had the opportunity to meet Di in person, but just hearing the heartfelt stories of how she helped with rescue, as well as being there for anyone that needed her, showed me what a wonderful person she was. Through emails, I was able to see for myself how caring and kind she could be. She will truly be missed

Norma Stevens

Sandi and her Tzu angels

Ned Kronberg

Di was and always will be a very special lady she will be greatly missed by everyone who came to know her. She was always ready to help. Di you will always be loved and missed Now you are with Sealy and all of the other furbabies waiting for their loved ones. I know you will watch all of our furbabies. Until we meet at the rainbow bridge.

In These Mortal Coils
We Go
Through This Life Time
But Once

We Come To Teach
and
We Come To Learn

When The Tasks Set Before Us
have been done
It is time to continue the journey of our evolution.

Perhaps to be re-born to carry out the process once again
and to be again with those of our companions of this journey.

It is said that we travel in a group of 12 close companions
and that we each of us know and associate with 100 others.
In the many stages of our evolution we 12 will eventually find one another
butmay not find but perhaps only
one other in our group of 100 in each of the many lives we will live.
But when we do it is as if we have found a part of ourselves that has been lost.

I believe that Di has found not one, not two but many of her group
of her 100 others.


Di, you were much loved in this life time and you not only learned those lessons that you were to learn
but
You passed on the knowledge to others through your love and selfless devotion.


you will indeed be missed by those of us you have left behind but go ahead
for we rejoice for you and will look for you in another life time and we will recognize
one another for we are of the 12

With much Love
Bill
 

Di you had Dreams and began to work towards them
You Never ever let Your Dreams Die
You were Courageous and Acted to make them Come True
Now Many Loved Ones and Friends in the World today Di Love and Applaud You for your Achievements your Kindness and for Your Love and say Thank You for Being You ...
As You are Missed More than Words Can Say ....
