    Condolence From: VON Palliative Care Volunteer Program
    Dear Donna, Lois and family,
    I met Meda last May 30th just before her ceremonial duties at the Blue Water Rest Home anniversary. Meda was a delight to all who visited with her. VON Volunteers, Mai Young, Diane Chapman (until Dec/05), and most recently Rose Fuss spent time with Meda. Meda enjoyed having Mai read the psalms. Our condolences from the VON Palliative Care Volunteers.

    Sincerely Karen Lehnen for Mai, Rose and Diane

    Condolence From: Raye Oesch
    My sympathy to Meda’s family especially to Donna O’Brien for her tireless efforts in helping Meda for such a long time.

    Raye

    Condolence From: Jim and Donna Hoffman
    Donna and family: So sorry to hear about Meda. I am sure you have many happy memories to cherish. Thinking of you
