In loving memory of our friend and volunteer Michelle Custance
July 01, 1982 - December 18, 2008. We will always smile when we think of you!

Michelle was born with congenital spina bifida. She never let her medical condition dampen her spirit or keep her from helping others. She volunteered her time to work our service dogs and was a very important part of our training program. She trained the dogs how to load / unload her van safely using a wheelchair lift and how to work with her wheelchair. She made a difference, and she will be missed!
