Thanks to everyone at Valley View Hospital who cared for our wife and mother, Martha Long, during her short battle with cancer.

The nursing staff was so patient with our family in keeping us aware of what was happening and making sure we were as comfortable as could be during this very difficult time.

We are also extremely grateful to everyone who donated to the memorial fund. Their thoughtfulness and generosity made this difficult time a little easier to deal with.

And of course, a huge heartfelt thank you to Alpine Bank and all of our mom’s co-workers. They were a comfort and strength that was much needed.

We love you Mom, and you will be missed every day.

The family of Martha Long

The Street Cat Coalition, a nonprofit outreach of Colorado Animal Rescue, would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the wonderful and generous staff of the Glenwood Springs PetCo store. Recently they chose to honor our organization with a $100 gift card as part of a milestone sales mark achieved by their corporation.

Our local PetCo is a huge supporter of our humane endeavors to assist the feral and stray cat population of Garfield County. I know I speak for all the humane organizations of our area in expressing our appreciation for having this compassionate business in our community.

Please shop PetCo, spoil your own pets and know that in return, you are helping local homeless animals that cannot help themselves. Way to go, PetCo.
