Today we are remembering Joan Phillips, former director of the Glen Cove Animal Lover’s League (now Cove Animal Rescue).
When we first opened Green Forest Veterinary Hospital, Joan welcomed us with open arms. She was kind, generous, and deeply devoted to the animals and the people who loved them. To say she was an animal lover feels like an understatement. Rescuing and caring for animals wasn’t just something she did, it was who she was.
It’s impossible to imagine how many lives she touched and how many animals she saved over the years. Her compassion shaped this community in powerful ways.
If there is a special place in heaven for anyone, it is surely for someone like Joan.
She will be dearly missed by all of us at Green Forest and by the entire Glen Cove community.
