TRIBUTE TREE DEDICATIONS 2023
Thank you to Esther and Cornelius for changing my heart about farmed animals. I started my vegan journey for health and ended up discovering HEEFS. I learned about a Wonder Pig and a Guard Turkey and my life was changed. I keep your spirits in my heart never to be forgotten.
This is for Cornelius, who I had the pleasure of meeting in August 2018. He was a larger than life scene stealer, and always made me smile.
I just had to send a tribute for Esther, who I had the pleasure of meeting in August 2018. She was a shining star who touched so many lives. May her message of peace, love and compassion live on.
In memory of Dusty Gionette.
In memory of my mom, Maureen White. It's my tenth Christmas without her and I miss her as much now as when she first left.
In memory of Ben and Phoebe Holloway.
Remembering my cousin Heidi Harte. There's a little less laughter in the world without her.
To all the volunteers at HEEFS!
Thank you all for everything you do for the residents and HEEFS. You're amazing and we are so grateful for everyone one of you.
To Rose, Sally, Eva, Joanne, Maureen, Marion, Lynn, Valerie, Laura and Kathy,

In memory of my sweet boy Moo
Dedicated with love to HEEFS. In loving memory of beautiful Esther who changed the world for so many, and every beautiful resident angel lost this past year. In loving honor of Steve, Derek, the board, staff and volunteers who fought hard for those lost, and continue to make a difference for the resident angels and the mindset of people worldwide every day.
Dearest Esther and Corno,
I met both of you about 5 years ago and you both changed my life. My heart is filled with love for animals and I do all I can to advocate and protect them.
You are part of my life every single day. Esther, I love you so much that you are permanently tattooed on my leg. My mom was sick for a couple of years and your smiles and posts kept me going. She passes away last year but your daily posts and smiles made me feel better. . Corno, you inspired me and I take care and feed about 30 ducks every single day. They trust me and come to my home for breakfast and lunch,
You are missed but your legacy remains strong, I will always, always love you and protect animals in your honor.
Much love sweet angels,
Gloria Stewart
Tigger, Bella and Louis, we love you and miss you every day. Forever in our hearts.
Jay, Stella, and Ozzie,

Love you always
R.I.P. Oscar Weaver mommy misses you so much. I can't believe we only had 13 years together.
Jean Le'Clare. I think of you often and how you did your very best every day to protect your flock. You were a very good boy and I want you to know that you will always be loved. There will never be another rooster like you. Fly free, sweet man. Love, Andrea.
For my lovely guinea pig Erik. After two and a half years I still miss you every single day.
To Steve and Derek - you turned an impossible dream into a beautiful reality. May you find a way to forge a new kind of partnership in order to keep that dream alive! To Esther who was always a ray of sunshine and joy, and who continues to inspire love and kindness all over the world. To Corno - who changed the way I will see birds forever, and who made me laugh every time he swooped in for a hug. To the HEEFS staff and volunteers who make it all possible - thank you!
Missing Esther with all my heart
A loving tribute to Esther, Corno and Captain Dan. You are greatly missed.

Cleo, to my sweet tiger, I miss you so much baby. I hope you and Milo are playing together in heaven. ??????
Sweet Esther,
I don't even quite know what to say. I'll just say that I'm happy for a way to honor you and help out others at the same time. You were part of my daily life though you didn't know it. Or maybe you did. I hope you're enjoying all the cupcakes and that you're able to run and play again. I love you.

Derek, I want to express my admiration and gratitude for the tremendous work you have done with HEEFS. Your dedication and compassion have made a significant impact on the lives of many furry and feathered friends who have found their forever homes, thanks to your efforts, staff, and volunteers.
I know the last 2+ years have been particularly challenging and heartbreaking for you, with the loss of some cherished residents and the Queen herself. The pain of their passing has been heavy on your heart, but please remember that the love and care you provided to them throughout their lives mattered deeply. You made their time here special, and they surely felt your love.
Thank you, Derek, for being a beacon of light in the lives of rescue animals. Your dedication and kindness are nothing short of extraordinary.
With heartfelt appreciation and love, Tonya B.

Dear ET, there was not a single person who met you and did not fall in love with you.
You were a piece of my heart and now life will never be the same. Ten years were not enough. I wish you were still here, snoozing and snoring by my side or following me around wherever I went. You were like my shadow and how I feel incomplete without you.
Love,

You are, all of you, lights of hope in an increasingly dark world.
LOVE to all living beings
In memory of Charlie Roo, and others. I miss you so much. Mommy loves you.
Kara Dunlavy… You are so brave! We love you to the moon and back. Mike, Erin and Gracie
To Derek; I know this year is probably the hardest one you have ever survived. Please remember there are so many people surrounding you in love and support. I hope 2024 will be a good one for you and you can find peace and love. It is very hard being in the public eye but all of us that know what you have endured and all you have had to overcome find you to be incredible, strong, so loving and caring, We are what matter - you really are a super hero - there are not too many people that can do what you do. You are a true angel.
May we all feel the love that Esther, her Dads, Corno, Captain Dan, Bobbie Girl and all HEEFS residents from the past made us feel this Season and more.
Happy Christmas Esther, Corno, and everyone at HEEFs. Thank you for being so much love and joy to our world every day.

Esther
We miss you so much.
To Esther, Corno, Captain Dan and all the other lovely souls who passed this year. Never forgotten – Eileen in East Yorkshire England.
Esther, I still can't believe you left us! Though there is so much work to be done, your all-too-brief life has had a tremendous ripple effect around the world, more than your dads and caretakers could ever know. As one tiny example, your existence helped nudge my husband towards giving up meat. Baby girl, you have been an inspiration to us all, and you have left a five-hundred pound hole in our hearts with your departure. My one comfort is that our beautiful boy Cornelius, ever the dedicated security bird, went ahead of you to usher you across the rainbow bridge. May you, and Shelby, and Ruben, and all the other residents who crossed before you be frolicking with joy together, and may you be reunited with your mama and your entire piggy family. I miss you so much!
Norma Jean Hamster, I hope you look back at your little life and smile at just how much you were loved and cared for. You left us way too soon. We miss you!
So proud to have Esther in the Animal Heroes Hall Of Fame! Esther you are greatly missed and we promise to help your legacy continue. We love you sweet girl.
In memory of our beloved Zoe. You live on in our hearts and we will never forget you. We loved you so much,
To Lynn van der Valk,
A beautiful person who has always cared so deeply for all animals.
Love, Turk, Milo, Puck, Deckard, Parker and Boo.
Thinking of Esther, Corno and all the HEEFS residents who have crossed the rainbow bridge. Esther, you changed my life and I miss you terribly. May your light shine forever bright!

Your memories are treasured within my heart, you were so precious that I wish you never had to depart. You're unforgettable, you were ever so wonderful, you were one in a million, and you'll always be the precious friend that I cared for so dearly. Life is not the same without you, you're irreplaceable. I'll always cherish and treasure you. You may be out of sight, but you'll live forever in my heart and mind. Your memories are very precious to me, and I'll treasure them endlessly!
Love you always & forever,
Ernie & Jeanne
To my Rodney, my first cat. (April 2004 - December 2023). I miss you, but I am glad you are free from pain. Rest in Peace. Your mom, Elizabeth

For our beloved Blossom who left this world on November 4th, and earned her doggie angel wings. Even though your physical being is no longer we still feel your presence, and know your spirit is around us. We love and miss you!!
I commit to continuing an Esther Approved Lifestyle to honor Esther, Cornelius, Captain Dan and farmed animals everywhere.

For all the animals who suffer because of humans. And to the teacher animals who show us how to be better people.
Dear Professor Biggly Shortbus. Your time in my family was too short, like many of the kitties that find their way into my home. But I want to believe that the 4 years you were here were at least a soft landing pad for the many years prior that led you to be abandoned outside. You were just a crusty old fat boy kitty who didn't seek out attention, didn't use the litter box consistently, and who cared more about food than about other cats or people. But you were unapologetically true to who you were... a beloved member of my family who brought joy to us every day. We will all miss your big dumb face very much. Thank you for all of the smiles you brought to ours.
Dear Esther and Corno, may your light always shine brightly. Your legacy must live on i believe that is why you came to the Dads and shared your joy. Thank you. We can do better, every animal Deserves love, peace love Esther forever. X

Liebe Mami und lieber Papi,
Ihr fehlt uns so sehr. Wir sind dem Kosmos unendlich dankbar, dass wir Eure Söhne sein dürfen und für die glückliche Zeit, die Ihr uns auf dieser Erde begleitet habt. Bis wir uns wiedersehen, halte Gott Euch geborgen in seiner schützenden Hand.
Gesegnete und leuchtende Weihnachten. Mögen die Sterne hell leuchten, um Euer himmlisches Zuhause zu erhellen.
Wir haben Euch unendlich lieb und umarmen euch ganz fest!
Eure Buben Michael & Frederik

A tribute to Sally and Peter, my first dogs who taught me to love creatures different from humans. And to you, Esther: you made this love grow for all the living creatures.
