Dear Editor,
Re: “Charity versus services,” Voices, Oct. 7.
Thank you for speaking to our granddaughter, Lauren, and believing her poem worthy of publication. And yes, it has moved and inspired many.
Thank you, too, for publishing the advertising feature celebrating Linda Reid’s 25 years of service to our community. We have known Linda for those 25 years and can attest to her hard work, dedication and integrity.
In the early 90s, we asked Linda for advice on how we might enhance the continuum of palliative care by establishing a free-standing hospice as an alternative to hospital and home. She listened, acknowledged the value of our vision and supported us always. For this, we are grateful.
Tony and Nancy Yurkovich
