Newsletter Summer 2010From the DirectorIt is often said we are a club that no one wants to join. A house that welcomes sorrow with rooms that embrace tears. We may be all that but we are so much more. We are children, teens and adults who come together to share stories and reflect on how life is forever changed. We are families who gather strength from each other and begin to define who we are without that special person. We are, more than anything, a place that offers the hope that we can and will persevere in the face of whatever pain has come our way.
That hope is evident so often in our children’s artwork and
projects. But last week, at our Annual Family Picnic, it
could be seen in the faces that border this page. It was a Our Gala in September is fast approaching. I hope you will join us,
as it is an excellent opportunity for you to experience that

We recently said goodbye to long time Teen Volunteer Facilitator Peggy Ehrhardt. Peggy has been a volunteer with our teens for over 10 years . We are most grateful for her many hours of service and dedication. The teens presented Peggy with a card (left) and of course, her rocks. When asked , You know you have made a difference when… Peggy responded, “ When you see the kids change and grow. With each group they begin to share and talk more about the death. They are really different people when they leave compared to when they first came to the group.” You have certainly made a difference Peggy! Thanks so very much!
