Today is for Denise and Denis
May 21, 2015 by Katelyn -
Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Denise Hathaway-Larsen in honor of her and her brother, Denis’, birthday. Denise shared this touching message about today:
“This is my and my twin brother’s 59th birthday. My twin brother passed away in a motorcycle accident in 2007. My family had the honor of visiting CSNW last summer. We have followed the chimpanzees there for several years and adore them AND their caregivers.”
Denise, it means so much that you would think of giving the chimpanzees a special day as a way to celebrate your and Denis’ lives. We are so sorry for your loss and hope you find much comfort and joy in remembering your brother and your lives together today. Happy Birthday from all of us here at CSNW!
Good friends, Burrito and Foxie:

Sorry for your loss Denise. May your many happy memories be a comfort! Thank you for sharing with the beautiful chimps! Happy Birthday!
Thank-you. We are looking forward to our trip to Canada this summer to visit Tatu and Loulis formerly of CWU.
Fabulous way to celebrate a life – helping to make the lives of these beautiful 7 better.
