BELLA
We cannot thank you enough for your compassion and professionalism during one of the most difficult times. My son found Bella on Bardstown Road over 10 years ago after someone threw her out of the car. The vet estimated her age to be 1 or 2 years old when he found her. We could tell her life had been difficult and we tried to give her the best life. My son took the dog everywhere with him. When he had to work he would bring her to my house (trip to grandma's, LOL) just so she wouldn't be left alone. A little over a month ago we noticed a lump on her neck and took her to two different vets and was told she had cancer. Within that month it spread to her lymph nodes and her health was declining. Bella wasn't doing good and my son made the decision that he would have to put her down, but since she hated going to the vet he made the decision to have it done at his home where she would be comfortable and surrounded by her family. Dr. LeMay showed so much compassion and explained everything in detail and made sure Bella didn't feel any pain.
Thank you Dr. LeMay and I would recommend your services to anyone in need. We love and miss you Bella (Bell-Bell),
DEXTER
I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for Dr. LeMay, who provided the most compassionate and loving care during one of the hardest moments of my life. Saying goodbye to our beloved Dexter was incredibly difficult, but having Dr. LeMay come to our home made all the difference.
Dr. LeMay was gentle, kind, and patient, allowing Dexter to be in the comfort of his favorite spot, surrounded by love. The entire process was peaceful and dignified, exactly what Dexter deserved. I cannot thank Dr. LeMay enough for the comfort and compassion she showed us during this time.
If anyone ever finds themselves in need of such services, I highly recommend A Friend’s Farewell, her kindness and professionalism are beyond compare.
Thank you,
Veronica Wunderlich
ISABELLE (IZZY)
Dr. Lemay,
We want to thank you for your kindness and help when we had to make such a tough decision. It was becoming more and more apparent that Isabelle (Izzy) was declining rapidly.
Your expertise and knowledge allowed us to feel like we were making the most informed choice and it was the correct one. We loved that somehow she found the energy to greet you that morning, the last little spark of such a warm and loving friend. It was like Izzy knew you were there to help her. Having the chance to say goodbye to Izzy from the comfort of her bed was priceless.
Thank you again so much for the peace you bring to families and their beloved companions.

JOJO
We will always be grateful for Dr. LeMay coming to our home so we can gather around our gorgeous JoJo. He passed away peacefully in his favorite spot on the ottoman in the living room.
You were so kind and compassionate, and we appreciate that. You gave us the time and comfort that we needed to say goodbye. We miss JoJo so much, but we know that he is in no more pain and will be in our hearts forever.

MAVERICK
Dr. Lemay,
My family and I canNOT thank you enough for your compasionate care of our Maverick (and of us) in his final moments. We rescued Maverick almost 11 years ago when he was 3 and living in not the greatest conditions. We gave him the very best lift we could and in turn, he gave us his unconditional love. The experience of watching him age and become less like his normal goofy self was so very sad. When we made the decision to help him gain his wings, we immediately knew we wanted it to be in his home, on his blankets, in his favorite spot in the house. We thank you so very much Dr. Lemay. The empathy you showed us warmed our broken hearts. You are a special person who followed a calling and we are so grateful for you.

SCOOTER
My simple words cannot express our gratitude for the service Dr. LeMay provides. We didn't want to say goodbye but Scooter's health was failing fast. Dr. LeMay was truly an Angel. With pure gentleness, she explained every detail of what we could expect. She provided a respectful and beautiful close to Scooter's life and provided us with the peace of letting him go in his home of 16 years. Dr. LeMay showered our other dog with love and affection and explained what he might be experiencing, as well, to help us navigate his grief. Although it was heart wrenching to let a family pet go, Dr. LeMay made it more peaceful for us to say goodbye. We have much love and respect for her and the service she provides.

GRAY'S
Thank you, Dr. LeMay, for being so compassionate and caring with my sweet boy Gray. I had 15 wonderful years with the sweetest cat ever and it has been so hard to watch him decline the past few months. I so appreciate you being available to help him cross over in the comfort of our home and in my arms. I miss him so much but thanks to you, Gray has no more pain.

ROXY
My Roxy was my first pet and I was lucky enough to have her for 16 years. In October we were told that she had an inoperable tumor in her intestines and we knew our time was limited. During the last week in April she started to deteriorate quickly. Dr. LeMay was able to come on Friday the 28th, which allowed us some time to snuggle and give Roxy the send-off she deserved. When the time came, we went on the deck and I had Roxy all wrapped up in a blanket. Dr. LeMay was incredibly kind and explained every part of the process to us. She was so sweet to Roxy and helped provide an environment so peaceful that Roxy was purring up until the very end. No one ever wants to go through this process, of course, but it’s sometimes the last gift we can give to our furry babes.
We will absolutely use Dr. LeMay again because the level of kindness and compassion that she provided were exactly what we needed during this difficult time.

REBA
Certainly one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Our Reba was 15-1/2 years old and having some issues. She had survived seizure disorder and Cushing’s but couldn’t escape the one thing that eventually gets us all. Time. Ultimately, I’m at peace with the decision to send her on before something traumatic happened. Reba passed at home, in her bed and surrounded with love. I’m happy that we honored her life and love by giving her that.
Dr. LeMay was so kind and compassionate. Her empathy for the pets and people she serves is the very essence of her service. I thank you and will be forever grateful for you.

JACKSON
Dr. LeMay,
I (We) just wanted to again thank you for helping to send off our sweet little boy Jackson. You made the unthinkable/impossible/most agonizing time a little easier and our memoires a little sweeter and more peaceful.
Thank you!

CUZCO
Dr. LeMay,
Thank you for caring for Cuzco on his last day! He was a good companion and great friend. We still miss him, but will be in our heart always.

JACK
Dr. LeMay,
We wanted to thank you again for your passionate desire to do what you do…
Jack was with us almost 13 years and the past few have been under your care. Everyone hates losing a family member, and it is certainly difficult to imagine not coming home to his awesome greetings. However, the way you helped us during this entire process set our minds at ease that we were doing everything we could to make sure he was receiving the quality of care and concern that he deserved. From our frantic text messages when something would terrify us, to the final call we made to you today, we have always felt like you shared our ultimate concern for Jack and his well being. We will continue to grieve our loss for many years to come but know in our hearts that Jack was rewarded for being such a wonderful, loving, boy by the dignity and respect you helped us show him when the time came.
Thanks for all you do…
Keith, Kristy, Keigan, and Kyley Fetz
