JoAnn Parsley shared. “I have been making stuffed animals for over 4 years. These are given to grieving families of deceased hospice patients. They provide material that was familiar are special to their loved ones. They can have 2-4 animals and can choose between bears, dogs, cats, and rabbits, Generally, I will make 2 animals every 10 days, depending on need. I am a retired artist, and due to arthritis in my hands can no longer paint. I can sew and pattern. Making these animals gives me a sense of satisfaction that I am contributing to those in need.”
