In Memoriam
We lost our beloved Gerry on May 8th 2019 after a battle with Aplastic Anemia. She left behind her beloved husband Bill, son Richard and her corgi girls Penny and Darby. She is deeply missed.
Hannah started working at Animal Health Center when she was in high school. After graduation she worked at our Dexter location. And during school breaks she would always show up ready to help wherever we needed her. We were thrilled when she met the love of her life and we very much hoped that when she finished school that she would be part of our family forever. But on February 7th 2019 she was gone and she left a hole in the life of everyone who knew her. To know Hannah was to love her. She always had a smile to share and she loved animals so much that they were drawn to her. Our hearts are forever broken and she will forever be missed. 💔
