Memorial Card
Donation
Acknowledging someone's deep grief
over the loss of a cherished furry companion or of a loved friend or family member can be quite heartwarming.
And, people are especially thankful when they see that your
thoughtfulness and generosity is helping
others as well.
Rochelle Lesser's photo of a youngster with his first puppy
is featured on the card, so exemplifying the wonders of the
human-canine bond. Classic linen, cream-colored oversized 5¼"
x 7¼" cards, at a hefty
80-lb weight, are matched with 70-lb linen envelopes.
In addition to the card,
we will acknowledge the respective recipient below.
Price: $50.00
Please Note:
You will be directed to a page to provide yours and the card recipient's contact information
once payment has been received.
Art Vanderbilt's Golden Days Book
'Giving' Program Donation
There could be no finer gift than this lovely, author
signed and inscribed, lovely book, yours for a $50
tax-deductible donation.
Written by Art Vanderbilt, one of our Foundation's Advisory
Board Members, Golden Days: Memories of a Golden Retriever,
tells a beautiful tale of the affection between people and
their very special dogs. As Art writes, "She had taken us
places we never would have gone and shown us things we never
would have seen without her."
We are forever after Art about
bringing a Golden into his home, but fear that his still sharply focused memories of Amy
keep getting in the way. Yet, we can empathize with him about this dilemma,
our sharing in
the pain that he experienced when Amy transitioned to The Bridge, as lymphoma (which
our
Ollie battled) proved to be her downfall as well.
Amy had golden eyelashes, a real fondness for
Vermont cheddar, and a worn-out slipper she never tired of bringing
to those she felt surely needed it. From puppyhood, she considered
herself in charge of the Vanderbilt family—making her round of bed
checks each night, greeting long-absent members of her human pack
with unrestrained affection, herding the family back to shore when
they went for a swim in the ocean, and bartering brand-new shoes for
one well-chewed rubber frog. And, being the ultimate drama queen,
she would lapse into a sulk worthy of the very best Hollywood
leading ladies, whenever she was left out of her family's
activities.
In addition to the card,
we will acknowledge the respective recipient below.

This one's for Ginger, and her best friend Kirsten. They were made for one another, finding each other when they each needed it the most. They travelled together inseparably, experiencing things each other might have missed along the way; Kirsten memoralizing it all on now precious film. It is with great courage now that they have gone their separate ways. I will miss that little gal, the cheesehound, the lithe and athletic Golden Greyhound.
... May Kirsten find peace in Ginger's everlasting comfort. |
