Our winter newsletter lands in mailboxes this week (12/5). In this issue you’ll read about how Chaplaincy Grief Care and Hospice Care supported Michelle Wilson and her family after the tragic death of her brother and during her father-in-law’s end of life journey. Her touching story affirms our role as guides and companions during very difficult times of life. You will find information about how you can support our work during our End of Year Giving campaign or by providing items on our wish lists; and the list of our upcoming grief support classes and groups may be helpful for you or to pass along to a friend who may be struggling after a loss. The memorial gifts and donations made during the past quarter are also listed. These gifts honor those who have passed and also help support our on going efforts to provide exemplary spiritual, emotional and physical care.
