Memorials for Volunteers and Friends of Animals
In memory of our dear friends, whose
love and devotion to animals will live on in our hearts

Jeanette Megaw
On February
7th, four-legged creatures in the metro DC area lost a strong ally.
Jeannette Megaw’s two most recent pets were adopted from HART. “Joy” the
three-legged beagle is still with us. She never met a dog that she didn’t
adore. I recall one sporting event that we attended where she had the
police dog on her shoulders licking her face much to the dismay of the
two-legged officer. Frequently, shopping trips were interrupted to
visit a dog, or stop on the road to pet a creature who was walking their
owner. The vet-techs at our long-time animal hospital claim to want
to be reincarnated as dogs at her house. Even on the night of her
passing, our family wondered if she’d already met all the dogs we’ve lost
before her. We agree that she is in a place with all those dogs (and
more) and has a bottom-less pocket of treats. We’re sure she had
reunited with all of them. Just to be certain, we packed a couple of
dog treats and a host of dog tags in the memory drawer of her casket.
She was a real lover of all creatures, four-legged, winged and even
two-legged ones on occasion…always rooting for the underdog.
From one who knew her
well, her son George
Jeanette Megaw,
a great friend of animals and of HART, passed away February 7, 2008.

Charles Henry Dietz
Our thoughts
and prayers are with our friend and co-volunteer, Charlie Dietz, who lost
his father, Charles Henry Dietz (85), October 27th, 2007. Charlie,
the only child of Mr. Dietz, was a dedicated son. He spent a great
deal of time visiting and caring for his father. We know he will
miss him very much. We hope that wonderful memories of his dad will
fill his heart and ease his sorrow.

Sabrina Rosenburg
The world
recently lost an amazing little girl whose love for animals was a central
focus of her life. Sabrina Rosenberg was 9 years old and her heart brimmed
with compassion and affection for animals of all kinds as well as for
people who didn't have as strong a voice as many of us. She spent much of
her free time playing with her friends -- dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds
and any and all other animals she encountered. All of these creatures, and
all of the people she befriended, were blessed to have been the subject of
her attention and affection. All who knew Sabrina, or knew of her life and
passions, have been touched by her wonderful spirit.
In honor of Sabrina's birthday on June 27th, HART
has taken in a dog
from a rural shelter who was scheduled to be euthanized.
We feel this is an appropriate tribute to Sabrina, who cared about animals
so much.
Sabrina was an incredibly beautiful person in every way. We are honored to
remember her in this way.
A special fund has been set up in honor of Sabrina at the Middleburg
Humane Foundation. If you would like to make a contribution in Sabrina's
memory, you do may so by sending a check to MHF at P.O. Box 1238,
Middleburg, Virginia 20118, or by visiting their web site at
www.middleburghumane.com
and making an on line donation.
