Female Golden Grizzly Dragon:Dragon is a very warm person with a tender heart,shes been a Grizzly for 8 years and one of the 1st females to join the club. Year in and year out shes there, shes always there for the club or any other Grizzly if asked. Shes never selfish,a Great mother who's always thinking of her kids first.Since the 1st day we met dragon we new from her chewing tobacco she would fit in and be one of the boys. She is a very good chess player. She is so nice and warm to be around,she is a Golden Female Grizzly and in this club the females rule... Dragon is known for her love of GOD and when ever she hears of trouble in a Grizzly life shes the 1st one to start asking for others to help pray for things to be ok. It is us that is blessed to have her as a part of this family/club...Many believe that the evidence of a true Grizzly is what they do to show their loyalty,honesty,trustworthiness, or willingness to make a sacrifice when needed or when able...the above describes Michelle. She has given all the virtues that go along with being a true grizzly while enduring many hardships and only asking for a little faith in return. I hope I have impacted her life as much as she has mine. To each of us *Grizzly* has a different meaning...for all of us it is a gift... a gift of long lasting friendships in which if anyone has the opportunity to get to know Dragon you'll know you'll have a long lasting true blue friend.. Congratulations Dragon on a well deserved honor as our Female *Golden Grizzly* of the year.!!
