Dear Editor:
Recognizing that this holiday season has been particularly difficult for so many in our area communities, we would like to acknowledge and celebrate the compassion, empathy, and emotional and physical support that our community members have offered to their neighbours, friends, and strangers. Thank you everyone, for your humanity and kindness.
Ashcroft and District Hospice Society would also like to thank everyone who participated in our 2024 Christmas Memory Tree. Our tree was filled with beautiful ornaments, dedicated to our many loved ones, gone too soon. We hope that next year, circumstances will allow us to once again have a Memory Tree in Cache Creek.
Thank you to Carol Madden and the amazing people of Spences Bridge, who so heartily participate in this project, with their own beautiful tree set beside the river.
Thank you to the Ashcroft Post Office ladies, who continue to lovingly support Hospice, with this project and others.
Thank you to Barbara Roden, for supporting and promoting our local volunteer groups and their causes.
We gain our strength from within, and from family, friends, and sometimes just the understanding of strangers within our communities.
Please don’t be afraid to contact us, if or when you feel like maybe you need a little boost of support. Or not: that’s okay too. Grieving is a mix of complex private and shared emotions, thoughts, and feelings. You can visit our office at 509 Railway Avenue, Ashcroft, or call us at (778) 207-7575.
Thank you all for sharing! With care and immense gratitude to you all!
Ashcroft and District Hospice Society
