In Memory of Dr. Deeb
Dear
Rabbit Family,
It is with deep sadness that I learned of Dr. Barbara Deeb’s passing on
May 9, 2005. Our sense of loss is tremendous. The rabbit community, as a
whole, has lost a great friend and ally. Her diagnostic skills and
knowledge of rabbit medicine were unmatched. She helped bring treatment
for our furry friends out of the dark ages. Fortunately, she
unselfishly shared her knowledge with many others in the veterinary field.
Her good work will live on.
The fiberglass vet cages that Dr. Deeb donated to our new facility will
house sick and injured rabbits for many years to come. Yet, this didn’t
seem quite a fitting memorial to our unique and special Dr. Deeb. We have
recently constructed two memorial gardens in front of our new
bunny house. It seems fitting that our first memorial plant should be in
her honor. I have just planted a very proper old-fashioned rose bush named
Barbara in the first garden. It is a small, compact plant with many
thorns. It seems a little prickly at first. When the abundant, many
petaled pink flowers open they will show their soft, golden heart. This
rose will represent the Dr. Deeb we all knew and loved. We pray that as
Dr. Deeb crossed over the Rainbow Bridge she was welcomed by the multitude
of bunnies whose earthly lives were enriched by her loving touch. May she
frolic in the sunshine with her furry friends eternally. We will miss her
so.
With deep sorrow,
Sue
