Farewell, Sweet Gumball 🤍
With heavy hearts, we share that our beloved Gumball passed away on December 1. For nearly a decade, he brought warmth and joy to all who visited the farm. His gentle spirit touched countless lives and reminded us of the healing magic this place holds.
Our Animal Care Director, Colleen, shared this sweet poem in Gumball’s memory:
Gumball’s Meadow
For almost ten years, beneath the sun’s warm glow,
You wandered these fields where the soft winds blow.
A gentle soul with a heart so wide,
In this quiet haven, you chose to reside.
Through seasons that turned, from green to gold,
Your story of peace and love was told.
Each muddy patch, each shaded tree,
Held whispers of joy and serenity.
You taught us grace in the simplest way,
To savor each moment, come what may.
Though your hoofprints fade from the earthen floor,
Your spirit lives on forevermore.
Rest now, dear friend, where the skies are clear,
For Sanctuary One will always hold you near.
Rest easy, sweet boy.
