Today was sponsored by Tobin in honor of Pat Divish!
I am sponsoring this day of sanctuary in honor and memory of Patricia Divish. January 29th would have been her birthday. Those of us with the good fortune to have known her will long treasure our memories of her: her quick with, her wry humor, her laughter, the wealth of her personality.
As can be said for today’s girl at the sanctuary, Rayne, one experienced a sense of benevolence in the presence of Pat Divish. (“What?!,” I can hear her exclaiming in mock-umbrage. “You’ve gone on the internet and compared me to a chimp?!”). Given the generosity of her spirit, I am certain that she would have approved of the mission of this sanctuary.”
Thank you so much Tobin for honoring your friend this way! We know how much you love the residents here and are truly honored by all you support. Today we will celebrate in honor of both Pat and Rayne’s birthdays in her honor!
Be sure to check back a little later for Rayne’s birthday celebration!

I see some of Pat’s wit and humor has rubbed off on you Tobin. That was a lovely and funny tribute.
That last picture of Rayne… She is dressed to the nines for her special day! Awesome photo.
Thank you Tobin for sponsoring this day, and for your love of this little sanctuary and its residents.
Tobin says
Thank you, Paulette, for your kind words. As for the Divine Ms. D. (1941-2021), she was one of the most endearning individuals whom I have ever met, and that rare human being whom everyone seemed to immediately like. She moved into my old neighborhood when I was 15 years old, and I was classmates with the eldest of her seven children. I think that she would’ve liked the residents of the Sanctuary.

Kathleen says
Yes, thank you Tobin for sponsoring today by honoring two of your dear friends, sisters in birthdays.
That last photo of Rayne is priceless! Maybe we need to refer to Rayne as “The Divine Ms. R”! She looks as if she is ready to greet her adoring fans. Can’t wait to see how she celebrates her big day.
