Remember Carolyn,\u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0Katrina survivor who lost her dad in the flood just after the hurricane? She\u00c2\u00a0showed me around the NOLA area when I returned there in May. I just received a note from\u00c2\u00a0her about the book:<\/p>\n
I… have been wanting to really thank you for the 8 State Hurricane Kate Book… what I have read has been very moving & uplifting. This book has made me realize even more what you, Cindy, Sarah & so many others did for our animals.\u00c2\u00a0The sacrifices you & so many others have done for us still will never be forgotten. I am sending a copy of this book to my best friend, in LA who used to live in New Orleans for 25 years. I know she will love the book. Thank you for the time you spent in creating this masterpiece & I am honored that we were part of 8 State Hurricane Kate. God Bless All of the Animals, especially Kate!<\/em><\/p>\n Earlier she had written:<\/p>\n There is a place in Heaven for you & your organization. I have a suspicion that you will be greeted by the animals first! I wonder why? Take care.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n Wouldn’t that be cool? To make it to heaven and be greeted by all of the animals? \ud83d\ude42<\/font><\/p>\n The story of Carolyn’s dad Al and his dogs Bruce and Duke is told in chapter 7 of the book. They are among the many faces of those who were lost to Katrina and those who survived as well. I don’t want Al, Bruce, or Duke to be forgotten. Friendship with Carolyn and our connectedness across the country is one of the positive outcomes of the Katrina tragedy.<\/font> Helping the animals and meeting wonderful people like Carolyn was\u00c2\u00a0(and is) our pleasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Remember Carolyn,\u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0Katrina survivor who lost her dad in the flood just after the hurricane?
