Good evening friends.

With great sadness and pain our friend Amanda Carr had to say goodbye to her Kiwi on Thursday night, April 9th. Amanda is Sammy & Family’s very good friend from Florida.  If you all remember we just said prayers for Kiwi on Wednesday, April 8th when she had two seizures the day before.

I spoke with Amanda just earlier today.  Here’s what she had to say about her fallen angel Kiwi. She rescued her at 3 months old.  She had just turned 12 years old this April. Amanda loved how Kiwi actually smiled just like a person and was a gentle soul.  We can all see that smile right here in this picture.  Kiwi was Amanda’s best friends through thick and thin in her life, a loyal companion right until the end.  Amanda speaks of how she’ll miss walking Kiwi around the duck pond, she will miss watching her sleep on her little pillow, and she’ll even miss the occasional snoring Kiwi used to do.

Vanessa and I have gotten to know Amanda over the years and Vanessa was even lucky enough to meet her in NYC one day while i was at work.  Amanda is an incredible friend to animals.  She has done a lot of volunteer work with all kinds of animals; foxes, birds, turtles dogs, and so on and so on.  She really has made a difference in a of of animals lives.

Sammy & Family wants to thank Amanda Carr for giving Kiwi a blessed and loving life.  Kiwi knew what love and happiness was thanks to Amanda.  Kiwi made the world a better place and will never be forgotten, and now she suffers no more.  All of us here in the ELS community want to thank Amanda for making the world a better place many animals at a time.  Sammy & Family’s only wish is that all animals get the love and care that Amanda gave Kiwi.  What a wonderful world that would be.

Amanda we are all behind you. All of us from around the world have you and Kiwi in our thoughts and prayers.

No lives will go in vain, no pain will go unnoticed.  Amen.  Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
