Story behind our Logo
A few months before Zach died, he adopted Roscoe, a spunky, cute French Bulldog puppy which brought him so much joy. Zach loved and spoiled him. Today, Roscoe is still very much a part of our family and helps us to keep Zach with us daily. Roscoe was our inspiration for our logo, along with an Oklahoma Red Bud tree. A group of Lynn’s Wisconsin friends pitched in and purchased the tree planted along the Eaton Trail Tribute Grove at Woodward Park.
