To My Beautiful Mother In Heaven Above, I miss you so very much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I can't believe that you are no longer with me on earth, but I know that you are looking down from heaven. It is hard to believe that it will be 1 year on 9/11/11 in which you passed away and went to heaven with God. I love you so very much, Mom. Rest in peace my beloved Mother. Until we are together again, with all my love, your loving daughter, Audrey

Marianne believed evry animal deserved to live, and she donated her time and money helping Animal Samaritans, Desert Paws, Pet Rescue and much more...her legacy lives on with each family that adopted a shelter pet that was given a chance thanks to Marianne.

So sorry to see such a beautiful sprit leave us, but I know she is herding the "fur" where she walks now...
