Rest in peace & thank you, Melissa Hortman💔🙏🏾🥀

This morning, we learned of the tragic and senseless death of former Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark.

Melissa served her community in more ways than one. She was a Helping Paws Foster Home Trainer, a neighbor, and a friend. The Hortman family raised and trained Minnie, who is now a working service dog partnered with a Veteran. They also helped raise and train Gilbert, a service dog in training who was eventually career changed and became a cherished member of their family. At this time, we do not have confirmed information about Gilbert’s condition.

We are also holding Senator John Hoffman and his wife in our hearts and wishing them a full and speedy recovery.

Our deepest sympathies go out to their families, their loved ones, and everyone grieving this unimaginable loss. We remember Melissa for her kindness, compassion, and unwavering commitment to making the world better—both in public office and through her work with Helping Paws.
