God has gained an angel. The reason as to why I love animals as much as I do. My grandmother Lee Foley was the kindest woman you could ever know. She would bring us as kids to Hi-tor animal shelter to rescue pets that had no chance of adoption. As kids we brought home raccoons, squirrels, kittens, dogs just about anything that were injured or lost and she made it a point to help find the care they needed . She would feed the colony of cats behind the blauvelt library and it was just an amazing scene to watch them all come over to her when she arrived . My grandmother worked for 20 years at Rockland Psychiatric Hospital. She would call me up and say “bring the dog” so the patient’s can see. She did anything in her power to help someone smile. All this while raising 9 children. She had a way about her that you knew you were safe and loved from the moment you met her . Please take the time to say a prayer for my grandmother . We miss her dearly and know she will continue to watch and protect all of us.
Thank you,
Erica
