This is to the operators of the snowmobiles traveling at a high rate of speed up Silver Street Road on Sunday, Dec. 16 at approximately 8:30 p.m.

I want you to know you took our world away from us.

While my little Sophia, a 6-pound Maltese, was looking for her brother to get inside whom she always looked after, was hit by your snowmobile.

She was hit so hard it stopped her heart and literally broke her in half. NOT ONE OF YOU STOPPED.

I want you to know she was a very close part of our family. She looked out for us and was loved very, very much. Our hearts are broken.

If I’m not mistaken I believe it is against the law for snowmobilers to be on the roads. It’s also my belief that you are not supposed to ride until after hunting season.

What gives you the right to think you own the road just because there’s a snowstorm?

I know there are some people out there that don’t care much for animals like yourselves, but for the animal lovers out there I’m sure they can relate to our pain.

I would like to thank all my friends and family for their concerns and condolences.
