Joseph Garza sponsored our second day of sanctuary today in memory of his late wife, Carlene K. Olsen-Garza.
“Carlene was a great admirer of the work of CSNW when there were only seven. She would have been overjoyed to see the progress the Sanctuary has made over the years since she left us in October of 2014.”
Thank you so much, Joseph, for holding the chimpanzees in your heart and for your continued support of our growing chimpanzee family. We’re honored to be included in celebrating Carlene and her beautiful heart and legacy. Of course, we are fortunate to have that opportunity every day. Carlene’s Tower continues to bring so much joy and adventure to the chimps’ lives and we’re so grateful to you all for that.
Missy!! We know she’s a chimpanzee, but just looking at these amazing photos of her on top of Carlene’s Tower still makes our hearts skip a beat. 🙂 And I imagine hers did as well, in all the best ways.
Thank you, Joseph, for continuing Carlene’s support of our favorite chimpy people. How amazing it must be to witness almost daily the effect her good work had on their lives!
My heart indeed dies leap when I see her that high!
DOES leap…autocorrect. :slight_frown:
Thank you Joseph. I will keep Carlene in my heart. And thank you for giving them an excuse to post more pictures. My favorites have always been chimps at the top of Carlene’s tower. on top of the world.
And Carlene’s big heart gives not just to the chimpanzees she loved but all of us each and every time we witness daring Missy on the tippy top of the tower or when any of the chimps explore, play, forage, or ponder the universe on Carlene’s Tower. What an incredible legacy to leave behind.
