In special memory for Antionette

Share with your friends!

This day of sanctuary was sponsored by Antoinette Bronson for her wedding anniversary and she shared this touching message about her gift:

“This is the first anniversary since my husband died and I wanted to honor his memory and the love we shared in a special way. Thank you for all you do to help the chimps in your care!”

Antoinette, thank you so much for sharing your heart, and such a special day, with the chimpanzees. We are deeply sorry for your loss and are touched that you would choose to make a difference in the chimpanzees’ lives as a way to honor your husband and your lives together. All of us here are sending you all the good thoughts and may this day bring memories of comfort, joy and ease to your heart.

Missy and Annie:

    Annie-Missy pictures are among the best.
    I’m terribly sorry for your loss, Antoinette. A good friend of mine is going through the first year herself. I hope you’ve an Annie or Missy to talk to during the rough patches. Sending you a virtual hug!
