Dr. Ruth, Renata,Brad,and staff, first please except my apologies for taking so long to do this. Yesterday was 3 months already that Madeline's been gone. it's funny sometimes it feels like yesterday and others it feels like so long ago. As you can imagine I miss her terribly.  The first 2 months my neighbors were giving me books and articles and Madeline stories and kids who are in college now would come by and tear up remembering when they were young and used to come to the house to see if she could come out and play. While incredibly nice it seemed to prolong the process for me. It's amazing how many lives these animals touch without our even thinking anything about it. I started to do this about a month ago and when I got to your website I noticed and started reading your stories of your personal losses and all the emotions we go through and it was very cathartic to know it wasn't just me obsessing over things. Anyway, all this is to say thank you all very much. Words really can't express my appreciation for the loving, quality of care and attention you gave both Madeline and me. All the after hours calls and emails were way above the call of duty and  I appreciate it. Sorry I missed Renata on the way out and a special thanks to her for all the attention and Brad, ignoring the fact he's a red Sox fan haha, was great.

Thank you all, Ron
