7/9/17 – Dear Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I tell you that my loving mom passed away last night while my dad was holding her hand. We had all been there earlier as well as all week. We thank you for all of your prayers and words of support. They meant a lot to my dad. The family has decided that in honor of my mom’s love and devotion to animals, we will ask our friends and family to make donations to 4 Paws 1 Heart in lieu of flowers. Her legacy will live on in the many animals who will be saved because of this. As always, donations can be made through paypal on the facebook donate link or by mail at P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI. Never take a day for granted. May God bless all of our friends and the animals we help. ~ diana
Diana,
I just became aware and was sad to see that your Mother passed.
I have always been fond of both of your parents.
They are great loving people.
My Mom passed in 2011 at 93.
She lives in my heart and I feel her presents in my life daily.
I am sure you feel the same of your Mom.
Please pass on my condolences to your Dad.
Best Regards,
ejp
Hi Ernie, Thank you so much. I’ve often thought of your mom. She was always very kind to me and I’ve often thought of the time I went to Florida to stay with your parents for a week. Your mom and I spent a lot of time together. Not too long ago, my dad, Tony, and I were again talking about the time you saw my mom and dad at Forest City. My mom just couldn’t understand why you, Ernie, would be driving around in a car with “jimmy” on it. But that was the charm of JoJo. Although my dad was always protective of me, my mom was always very open and loving to all. Unfortunately, in the last year, she struggled with dementia and a bad hip. She wasn’t the same person all of my friends loved and remembered. I really appreciate you reaching out and I did tell my dad. I hope you, Sonja, and your son are doing well. God Bless.
