  5. The moment Patches and I met Lynn and Diane on a therapy dog visit to Spring Arbor, we connected. Patches was clearly drawn to Lynn as was Lynn to Patches. She exuded warmth, kindness and a gentle spirit and Patches adored her. We will greatly miss our visits with Lynn and Diane but are so grateful she’s no longer suffering. Our hearts goes out to Diane. Thank you for letting us share precious time with you both.
