Support Program-Do you need someone to listen?
Tuesday, April 10, 2012Both Jenn and I would like to announce that Carolyn Barnett is now our support program co-ordinator. Carolyn was a hospice volunteer and teacher. She volunteers at local nursing homes with the Salvation Army. Our support program is strictly there to provide assistance for grieving families and to make sure nothing was missed. Perhaps it's as simple as having a phone conversation to having a cup of tea. We are there from the beginning and after the guests are gone. Read more
