Dear Paul and Lindblom Family,
We want you to know how grateful we are to you
for your generous donations in Karol’s name. We received $565.00 and
as you know, every penny of it will be spent for the care and well
being of our senior greyhounds.
Many in our group never had the pleasure of
knowing Karol, but those of us that did, remember her gentle voice,
giving ways, creativity and talents.
Karol was the inventor of the “donation dog”
jackets and made several of them for us. She also made “name”
jackets for those greyhounds she knew. She was also known to give
of her time when there were “meet and greets” in the area even
though she had only weekends free. Paul and Karol adopted Harley,
who was their third greyhound, and even though Harley was undeniably
Paul’s dog, Karol loved the greyhounds and the work the Senior
Sanctuary was doing.
An example of Karol’s generous nature was when
one of the families in the group went away for a week and left their
dogs in the care of a dog sitter, Karol and Paul, along with Harley,
went down every night and took all four dogs for a walk. This was
after working a full day as a caregiver for an elderly woman. She
didn’t want the dogs to miss out on their walk!
We will miss Karol. We know she would have
wholeheartedly approved of your decision and we will remember her
with each senior greyhound that needs help.
We are making this an open letter to put on our
Web site so that all of our members are aware of your generous gifts
and Karol’s contributions.
Sincerely,
Nancy Bataille, President
GPA Senior Sanctuary of Florida
