The 4th Annual Honor-versary in memory of Jeffrey Gannon was a big celebration of life yesterday honoring those whom Jeff loved and cared for- the animals. Those of us at APET are so thankful for the support and hard work of the friends and family of Jeff Gannon. We can’t thank them enough for all they do every year in Jeff’s honor. They brought in lots and lots of donations of supplies as well as monetary funds in Jeff’s honor, and they worked for hours mowing, weed eating, filling holes, cleaning cat rooms, washing windows, sweeping, putting up shade for the dogs, playing with the cats, weeding and planting the flower beds, repairing fencing, and on and on. We especially want to thank Jeff’s sister, Kim Gannon, for organizing the event. It just gets bigger and better every year! ❤️
