Condolence: I knew Vita for many years through Oriole Dog Training Club. We trained our dogs together, and taught back to back classes for many years. She was a warm, kind person and always fun to talk to and hang out with. I am so sorry for your loss; she was so very proud of her family. I will miss her greatly.

Condolence: I am sorry to hear about Vita's passing. I met Vita at Oriole Dog Training Club, where my dog received the Canine Good Citizen certificate under her instruction. I also took several agility classes with Vita and her dog, Storm, whose antics never ceased to entertain the class. Vita was an upbeat, friendly, and encouraging person. She will be missed.

Condolence: I am really sorry for your tremendous loss - I hope you find comfort during this time in her lifes achievements and memories. She was the type of person who was "real", strong, and had a wicked sense of humor - which is what enamored me the first time I met her. I knew her for a very short period of time in her journey but she had a profound affect on me and my dog Cosmo. She was always there to offer advice, or suggestions on how to handle an agility course with Cosmo and she quickly earned our admiration and respect. She and I not only shared the same sarcastic sense of humor, but also the challenge of trying to train a strong willed dog. She will be missed deeply.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to your family during this time of sorrow. At times like these, we can draw comfort from the Holy Scriptures. At John 5:28, 29 the God of all comfort has promised us that there will be a future resurrection of our dead loved ones.

Condolence: I “inherited” Vita from my boss, Fred Bierer. She was his secretary for about twelve years, arriving at the firm not long before me. The two of them were opposites in almost all respects, but they both shared a love for dogs, helping people, and living life on their own terms. Fred would always remind me, “You’re so lucky to have Vita.” A law firm can be a stressful place to work, but you would never have known it from Vita. Her positivity was unparalleled, even in the last few months when things were not so great. Her persistent sunny disposition touched so many people that even the staff in our office building were devastated by the news of her passing. Vita, I admired your bravery, your strength, and your tenacity. You will be missed.
