We know that this year has been profoundly disappointing for so many; no celebrations, graduations, weddings, funerals, reduced income, isolation, sickness and loss of life. We deeply appreciate you all and all of those in our communities that have sacrificed for the safety of our at-risk and elderly residents. We ask that, for the next few months, all of us remain steadfast in our resolve to meet this dark time with friendship, compassion, hope, and support for those who are so vulnerable right now. Better days are coming and what will ultimately be remembered is the love and care that we show each other, right now in the midst of this horrible pandemic.
