Quincy RIP
It is with enormous sadness that I report the passing of Quincy. You may recall his valiant battle against a series of eye problems and his amazing recovery following the removal of both eyes. Sadly, towards the end of last week, Quincy started having breathing problems, apparently due to the heart problem that was detected following his surgery. The treatment plan required for his heart was too much for his kidneys to handle and the painful decision to euthanize was made. Thankfully, Quincy had a wonderful couple of months spent with his beloved Lucy and his doting human family.
To me, the most amazing thing about Quincy was the contrast between his present and his past. Quincy was a graduate of the Granville rescue but you would never know it by looking at him. He suffered enormous mistreatment prior to his rescue but demonstrated equally enormous forgiveness. He could have withdrawn from life, living in fear, like Lacy, who also came from that rescue but, instead, chose to live a life of joy, love, and confidence in a world that had not always been fair to him.
He will be deeply missed.
Our sincere condolences to Lucy, Terri, and Jeremy.
