Pine Village volunteers donate their time and talent in crocheting or looming Honor Shawls, which are presented to families after their loved one passes away, as a way to “wrap love” around them. Pine Village supplies the yarn, and volunteers select any color or pattern they choose for their 40” X 15” shawl. This ministry is headed up by Chaplain Ginger Seeber. How wonderful.

Does your organization do something special to mark the occasion of the passing of a resident/client? Share it with us and we will pass it on to other members.
