Dear Donna, Lois and family,
I met Meda last May 30th just before her ceremonial duties at the Blue Water Rest Home anniversary. Meda was a delight to all who visited with her. VON Volunteers, Mai Young, Diane Chapman (until Dec/05), and most recently Rose Fuss spent time with Meda. Meda enjoyed having Mai read the psalms. Our condolences from the VON Palliative Care Volunteers.
Sincerely Karen Lehnen for Mai, Rose and Diane
