π€ In Loving Memory of Frances Murphy π
It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Frances Murphy, who passed away today following a short illness.
Frances devoted her heart and soul to running an animal sanctuary, dedicating so much of her life to rescuing, caring for and giving animals a second chance. Her compassion, kindness and unwavering commitment to animals touched so many lives. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will never be forgotten. πΎπ
A very special and heartfelt thank you to Frankie Coote and Sam Cleary for spending the last six weeks caring for Frances, and to all her wonderful volunteers who continued to look after the rescue and its animals so beautifully. Your kindness, dedication and support mean more than words can say. π
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Francesβs beloved husband, Jimmy, and all her family and friends at this heartbreaking time.
Rest peacefully, Frances. Thank you for everything you did for the animals who needed you. Your love and compassion will live on in every life you saved. πΎπ
