Sad news from Liberte des Anes

Hi Val

It is with a heavy heart that i have to tell you Christina passed away on Friday.  She had battled
against pancreatic cancer for over a year, in and out of hospital but eventually her body couldnt 
cope any longer.

She was an incredible person, a vet in her working life, had great knowledge to make an amazing 
garden from scratch and as you all know she was also a marvellous cook.  She cooked for you all 
and every meal i think that you enjoyed here was perfect.

She also looked after some 17 old horses who had been sent prematurely to the butchers yard, 
these we have placed together with her 22 tortoises, some tortoises she had owned for 30 years.  
Here at Lavolvene we have collected her last three donkeys and three ponies which she wanted 
to keep until the end.

When we spoke last her main concern was that our fundraising lunches should continue so i will 
write to you again in mid October to announce the date of our next lunch which i think will be 
sometime during the week begining 19 october.  I am sorry not to have entertained you all during 
the summer months, i just couldnt find the enthusiasm and it didnt seem right to be enjoying a lunch 
here when she was so poorly !

Thanks for your support as always, its really appreciated here, especially now as we have six more 
donkeys/ponies to feed...

Jan
