Lauren’s Wing wishes to express a heartfelt thank you to the Janessa Fleming Memorial Fund and the entire Fleming Family for a generous gift to the Lauren’s Wing fund. The donation came to us with the following message:
“The Janessa Fleming Memorial Fund was established in loving memory of Janessa (JJ) Fleming to carry on her loving and caring spirit. Janessa, a friend to all, always expressed a love for animals. With this in mind, the Janessa Fleming Memorial Fund presents Lauren’s Wing with a $1000 donation.”
We are truly grateful that the Fleming family has chosen to honor Janessa’s memory through our fund. It is our hope that there is joy in knowing JJ’s vibrant spirit, boundless energy, love and enthusiasm will live on in the lifesaving care animals will receive through this donation. It is a blessing to have known Janessa during her lifetime and witness firsthand her gifts of love, inclusion and compassion to everyone she met. Although her years on earth were short, the moments that she touched the lives of those around her are monumental.
Lauren’s Wing Family wishes to humbly express our deepest appreciation to Paula Fleming (Janessa’s mother) and the entire Fleming Family and extend our gratitude for your support and friendship through the years.

A Donation From The Gaudi and Aducci Families
In Honor of Jon Soles and his Loving Pets
Two gentle dogs with hearts so wide,
Would trot through Dora’s door with tails of pride.
Jon’s golden Lab, Moxi, warm as the morning sun,
And his sweet black Lab pup, Marla, the quiet one.
Both pets were playful and loved visiting Dora at her home,
Moxi & Marla were Dora’s saving grace, during her stay at Redstone.
One brought joy to Dora with her playful bark,
The other sparked a ray of light when days were dark.
We’d like to honor Jon for the love he shared through his two loving pets,
Dora’s heart felt safe with each visit, whether daytime or after the sun sets.
Moxi & Marla asked for little, but gave so much,
A nudge, a paw, a tender touch.
In every visit, peace would start,
Two therapy dogs, and one full heart.
