Marla Lichtenberger

Even during her college days at Marla, she displayed utmost compassion towards animals and an unstinted dedication to her duties as a Veterinarian, despite classfellows jeering her on occasions.

She was a co student and a senior at PAU. Shared one course (Embryology) with me and got through it after I explained everything to her after the lecture. She loved animals and was a brave girl whom very few people understood. As I had been brought up reading American comics and novels, and my Dad getting his PhD from US, I could understand her better but was too immature to live up to her towering personality. I was bullied myself and grew up to be a strong person in later years. God bless...

I am thankful she was there to take care of my pets. I knew she was sincere in helping them.

On this, the anniversary of Dr. Marla's passing - I am happy to be able to share that Marla has been with us in our thoughts sooo often.

Marla's heart was so big, it doesn't surprise me that she still reaches out today. Our thoughts are with Mouna & Tico and Marla's family and especially Gayl. We're sending hugs and prayers for...

I first met Dr. Lichtenberger when she worked in the blue house at Westville, and at New Haven Animal Hospital in Connecticut. I remember her getting ready to go to New York for her extensive and prestigious training. I was sad to say, I never showed up at her party as I was out of town on business. She took care of my beloved sheltie and I trusted she would always provide the utmost care. My job brought me to the Milwaukee area where I participated in an animal CPR class. She was...

Dr. Marla became a very good friend to our family while caring for our little Toy Fox Terrier, Charlie. She gave us 4+ extra years together and we are eternally grateful. Her deep abiding love glowed from within her always smiling face and I'll never forget how very warm were her hugs and how generously she gave them. Her companionship during a pet crisis was angelic.
Having just read of her passing, we are grieving the loss of a very special and loved friend. With deepest condolences...
