We have appreciated the donkeys being chosen to benefit at such a sad time. Our thoughts are with you all. We were touched to receive donations collected in Joan’s memory. These kind gestures of help and support will certainly aid us in our work. We care for over 6,600 donkeys on a daily basis on Sanctuary farms in the UK, Ireland and Europe and this will also enable us to give comfort and medical aid to others less fortunate through our international projects and partners. We are most grateful for Joan being remembering in this way. Thank you.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Joan. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
