Thank you for memorial service

On Monday, September 19th, Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice and the Joseph T. Quinlan Bereavement Center held its annual Memorial Service at the Presbyterian Church of Newton. It was an event that offered comfort while honoring our loved ones. We would like to thank the Presbyterian Church of Newton and Reverend David Young for their hospitality, assistance, support, and generosity; Iliff-Ruggiero Funeral Home for providing the delicious desserts; Smith-McCracken Funeral Home for the beautiful flowers and to Pinkel Funeral Home for their donation.
Amy Florence, Chaplain of Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice, led the congregation into the responsive prayer and Reverend Randy Parks from Newton Medical Center shared his Reflections. In addition, all the participants greatly enjoyed the musical talents of Steve Iannacone and Laura Entwistle.
We would like to give our sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff and volunteers who made this event possible. Their devotion and dedication are a real inspiration to all who they serve. Finally, we would like to thank the families from the community, and those who used our hospice services, for sharing in this candle lighting service of remembrance.
