What a sweet gesture

Yesterday in the post I received this letter:

Dear Smelker Family:

Dr. Ben Kyzar of Community Pet Health Center has sent a generous donation in memory of Serena to the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University. This thoughtful contribution was directed to suport the Class of '99 Endowed Scholarship Fund.

Financing the cost of a professional education can be challenging. Tuition costs have caused a tremendous financial burden on our students with an average debt upon graduation of over $79,000. Every dollar makes a difference to these dedicated young men and women.

We cannot think of a more fitting tribute to a faithful companion. As animal lovers, we can fully sympathsize with your loss. At the same time, we greatly appreciate the benefits from pet memories which will ultimately mean better health care for our animal friends.

May Serena always remain a beautiful memory for you.

Sincerely,

H. Richard Adams DVM, PhD
Dean

O.J. Woytek, Jr., DVM
Senior Director of Development

Nothing can replace Serena - she was a special cat, but to know that our vet is so thoughful, generous and kind just reinforces our decision that he was the best choice for our animals.
