I wanted to take this opportunity to let my client family know about my Mom's passing on January 11th at around 5:45am. I was with her when she passed as I was by her side all night for her last 3 nights to be there to comfort her and tend to her in her journey home to her Lord. Mom (and Dad) had been such an amazing supporter of mine in my life as well as in my veterinary practice. For the last 5 years I have dedicated time out of my day to either visit her for lunch at the Glenwood or Greenville Nursing and Rehab, tend to her needs when she lived at my house after being left bedridden and unable to even pick up her arms or legs in bed after hospitalization with COVID or most recently for the last couple of years eating breakfast with her almost every morning at the Hitz Nursing Home in Alhambra. I know I have been late for appointments when she need more care than what time I had to spare in my day. I appreciate the grace my loyal clients have shown me in this journey with Mom. She was very proud of the work I did in my practice and community, and I wish she would have been blessed with the strength to have actually helped me in my clinic. It would have been a dream come true. Getting to hold her great-grandchild, Penni Rose Schreiber was a dream come true. It was one of her happiest moments in the last couple of years. Up until her last days she would still ask her grandson, Will Schreiber , (Penni's dad) about how her great-granddaughter was doing and loved to hear Penni's happy chattering in the background while we talked to Will while eating breakfast. Taking care of my Mom was one of the greatest honors and duty I have had. I appreciate so much the love and sympathy that my client family has shown me thus far. I also have enjoyed so much getting to love on my patients during this time of grieving. It is an honor to be their veterinarian. Thank you so much for your understanding while I take time away from my practice to pay my final respects to my amazing mother whose beautiful smile and positive never give up approach to life will be greatly missed, but lives on in me.
Sincerely,
Doc
