This service will be offered regardless of an individuals ability to pay. It is the belief of Emissaries that no one should be without the comfort of a friend when grieving the loss of a beloved animal. The death of an animal can, at times, touch people even more deeply than the death of a human being and it is often difficult, if not impossible, to find the support needed at such times. Emissaries of St. Francis is currently developing a world-wide network of caring individuals willing to assist those grieving the loss of beloved animal companions. No special training or degree is necessary to become an emissary . . . just a degree of caring. Simply listening and sharing your own story is all that is necessary in most cases. It is our hope that Emissaries will be great enough in number that all grieving people and animals will be supported and no one will be burdened. Please consider joining us in giving back, in some small way, the gift of love we receive from our animal friends. Feel free to pass this information along to others. Anyone interested in becoming an Emissary of St. Francis or learning more about the grief counseling services provided by the Emissaries network should contact Sharon Callahan through the Anaflora office at the address or phone numbers listed below. Your love can make a difference! Emissaries of St. Francis is presently established as a non-profit business organization. In the future, the plan is for it to incorporated as a non-profit educational and religious organization. The present board of advisors consists of Sharon Callahan, Susan Chernak McElroy, and John Purusha Price. Donations to assist in the formation and establishment of this network of grief assistance counselors are greatly appreciated, although at the present time donations to Emissaries of St. Francis are not tax exempt.
