Community

Christine was a Hello person—not a Good-bye person. She wanted people to remember her for the way she had lived. How do you remember her?

I found them marching up the wall, under cabinets, inside equipment and even in the microwave. I couldn’t find where they had entered which frustrated me even more.

Every morning I greeted the animals in the barns with hearty good mornings and told them how beautiful they all were.
