Daisy searchers appreciated

Dear Editor:

Amy and Becky and all of the Burke's Island family would like to say thank you to everyone who helped look for Daisy the cow. Daisy is the latest addition to our farm family. The discovery of her disappearance Sunday morning lead us on two days of miles of walking, worrying, praying and too many ticks to count. The word of baby Daisy spread on Facebook like wildfire. Amy and I were overwhelmed with the response from people all over the state of Maine. Our plea for Daisy was seen by over 30,000 people. We met people on foot, by car, or just a quick message of prayers for her safe return.

Special thanks go out to Seth Lewis of Blue Tin Farm, for hours in the woods and our constant tracking questions. To Jonne Trees for volunteering his time with his drone. To Lee Abbott for donating money towards the reward. To Lisa and Shantel Perry for making and hanging posters. We thank everyone in the community who walked the woods, drove around, or just stopped by to express some encouraging words. Thank you so much.

Daisy has settled in at her new home. She is loving all the attention she is receiving. Burke's Island Farm welcomes anyone to stop by anytime.

Becky Abbott and Amy Reny
