Gone but never forgotten...

We understand how difficult it is to lose a beloved family member.  We wish to honor those who have touched the lives of many and share pictures and stories to honor them.

Jackie Sheehan
November 19, 1997 - March 27, 2010

Jackie was an extremely happy dog and a huge part of our family. She was the most friendly dog; she would never hurt a fly. She made friends with every person and dog she came in contact with. We will always love and miss our baby Jackie. Thank you to the San Mateo Hospital staff for always taking great care of her throughout her life.
