Summer - Pervious Store Grief Counselor

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our cherished office cat, Summer. She peacefully left us in February of 2024.


Summer was known for her endearing gremlin-like stature and the graceful, playful way she walked. Summer brought joy and love to everyone around her. Surrounded by those who loved and cared for her, Summer left us peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of affection and joy.


"Black cats are a living piece of the night sky, now a star watching over us." 


Forever in our hearts, forever part of our family.

The Lienhoop Family - Cole, Lynae, Louise, & Layla

Cole and Lynae dedicated many years to helping Faithful Friends at the office. When Louise and Layla entered their lives, they had just a little less free time, so we don't see them as much at the office, but they are forever a part of the Faithful Friends family!
