IN MEMORY OF LARA MCDONALD - SHE WAS A LIGHT TO MANY, HAD A SPIRIT SO JOYFUL AND A HEART SO KIND THAT SHE TOUCHED EVERYONE SHE MET. SHE LIVED EACH DAY TO THE FULLEST, LOVED HARD AND CHERISHED TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. LARA RESCUED HER DOG, MILLIE, FROM A LOCAL SHELTER IN PHILADELPHIA. TOGETHER THEY SHARED BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS, GOING FOR DAILY WALKS THROUGH HER NEIGHBORHOOD AND CREATING LASTING MEMORIES. MILLIE, NOT JUST A COMPANION, BUT A SOURCE OF COMFORT AND LOVE, WAS ESPECIALLY THERE FOR LARA DURING HER LAST DAYS. ON APRIL 10TH, 2023 SURROUNDED BY LOVED ONES, LARA LEFT BEHIND A LEGACY OF LOVE AND SHARED ADVENTURES.
