Hello everyone,
This tribute to Mom is so touching. I remember as a kid the "Fish runs" Mom had to do. Then after she retired, her calendar filled with appointments. I rode along during one of my visits home and was so impressed by how ..." Mom made the people feel"

...It would be sweet to visit; and sit to think of "Joan" and acknowledge what a blessing she was to so many people - over so many decades of volunteering .

FISH has not been active since March 2020 because of COVID-19, and the serious exposure this kind of contact would be to their volunteers. Still, they want to do a "Special Dedication" at the Helen Graham Center for Joan Irene Callaghan.

💛 💙 💜 💚 💛 💙 💜 💚 💛 💙 👫 💕 👭 💜 💚 💛 💙 💜 💚 💛 💙 💜 💚 In memory of Mary Ann & Joan, two wonderful Mothers. Mary Ann, the crochet expert and Joan who as a teacher, took good care of many children. In Joan's retirement years she took great care of many elderly with rides to Dr.'s and food delivery.
The little dolls I'm crocheting will go to the Helen Graham Cancer Center in their memory. My contact lady mentioned that if the dolls were going to a cancer center for children, it would be nice if they had "wig caps". That might help a little girl who is also bald, feel more uplifted.
So let's all say a prayer for the little child who is already going through something 'No little child should have to face. The attached pics are of crochet dolls in progress. The 2nd pic shows them with colorful "wig caps" beautifully adorning their little heads.

Family,
I just love to crochet. On Joan's birthday we dropped off a bag of hats, scarfs and socks for the men & women at Helen Graham Center. Well, tomorrow we'll donate another bag of hats, scarfs and socks; once again in honor of Joan. She did so much, it's the least we can do. We Love and miss Joan and so happy she is at rest with Our Lord.
Much Love, Rich and Susan Jeanette (2-25-2021) ❤️

Hello Aunt Sue.
I was so touched to hear about your kind gesture done in memory of Mom. You are right that she always wanted to find a way to be helpful. But... she definitely could NOT knit! I know she loves your idea and the comfort it brings people dealing with a tough diagnosis.
Love and prayers. Sr. John Elizabeth

Subject: It just feels good !!!!
Family, I think of all our Loved Ones that we have lost, all the time. I enjoy crocheting because I saw how much our sister Mary Ann enjoyed it. She was good at it. Our sister Joan donated all those years, delivering meals to people in need. They were sick, or just unable to do for themselves. I wish I could drive sometimes, so I could care for the elderly in some way. Well today I had both in mind. Rich and I dropped of about twenty crocheted hats and a couple of neck scarves. Now I know how Joan felt, and why she did as much as she could. It just feels good to do what you can do to help someone. Not long ago I was sitting outside a Dr. office while Rich was in for a check-up. I was crocheting and got into a conversation with a woman. She ask how I learned to crochet and said that she wished she could crochet. It seemed like I saw her before, and said "do you walk the mall". Sure enough that is where I saw her before. I told her that I like to crochet and because I lost a sister to cancer, I donate them to the Helen Graham Cancer Center. With that she said, "I bet I have used some of your hats. She spent nine years fighting 'Breast Cancer". OMG I said, that must have been Hell. Like she said, "there were times. So for Mom, Dad and all our siblings (I can not drink) but let us all raise a glass or coffee or tea cup to them for all they did to help others. Most of all, "Thank You Mom & Dad for teaching us just how important it is and how Good it makes you feel !!!! With Love and Blessings for all you do, Rich & Susan 💛 💙 💜 💚 💛
Beautiful Love Ya ! Chatting Kathy
