Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen Club of America
Remembering Kathy Frelin
Submitted by Sue Smyth
K
athy & her husband Jeff have been active, hard working members of the Mid NJ PBGV Association for many years.
Kathy most recently was serving as a Board Member. She always had a smile & cheerful attitude! She was constantly
volunteering to work our club events. Most recently, she & Jeff worked as ring crew for two days at our club agility trial.
She always worked at our hunts in various capacities, most recently as Hospitality Chair. These Hunts were also weekend
long events. She & Jeff would always run their beloved Jake at each hunt (Jake was becoming a competitive hunter who
could hold his own on the field, much to the pleasure of Kathy & Jeff).
K
athy was very bright & was, at the time of her passing, chairing the club’s annual audit.
I
n addition to her cheerful disposition she was a good listener & offered sage advice to those in need. The club was
shocked when Jeff very thoughtfully contacted us saying she had suddenly passed just two days after our busy agility
trial!
A
ll of us at Mid NJ PBGV Association will miss her terribly. Our thoughts & prayers go out to Jeff & Jake during this
sad time!
