| "I remember how hard it
was to put my father in the nursing home. It was hard to accept
the fact that we could no longer give him the care he needed - or
deserved. Looking back, I shouldn't have worried. When he
died a few years ago, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I made a
donation to the Benedictine Health Foundation in his memory and
encouraged others to, also. For me, it was the perfect way to keep
his memory alive."
"Hospice care made Mom's last few weeks a little
easier for all of us. I don't know how we could have faced her
passing without them. She always wanted to help others - that was
just the way she was. By giving in her name to the Benedictine
Health Foundation, maybe I can help someone, too."
"I didn't know my neighbor that well. Then,
when he died last year, I didn't know how to show his family I cared.
Flowers didn't seem right, neither did money. I had heard someone
mention the Benedictine Health Foundation a while back, but I never knew
what it was. So I called - and I made a contribution in his name.
The family said it was one of the nicest memorial gifts they had
received."
