Tonight, I want to recognize a precious donor who passed away just this morning.
Anne Burkitt Koellien is pictured here with one of our forever fosters, Sadie Rose, who lives with Ms Anne’s son’s family. Clearly, Sadie Rose loved Grammie and vice versa.
Last week, Ms. Anne who knew her time was short, decided she wanted her final donation to sponsor spays and neuters for our rescue. She requested that a check for 6000.00 go toward the countless surgeries we do to head off the overpopulation problem. I was moved to tears when told of her generous gift.
What a selfless, loving soul who valued the lives of animals she was. She has annually donated and words can’t express our gratitude. To her family, we are so very sorry for the loss of your precious matriarch. She has left a beautiful legacy in you her family whom I am honored to know. Rest in peace, sweet soul. Many animals’ lives have been impacted by your generosity.
