We had a pretty special event, and we would like to share it with all of you. One of our beloved families donated two benches for the courtyard in memory of their mother, Ginny, a resident here at St. Camillus.
Here's a little about Ginny and her three daughters, Ginny, Linda and Robin. Ginny lived a full century of life, 100 years rooted in love, strength, and grace. We were blessed that she was a member of our St. Camillus family. A lifelong gardener, Ginny found happiness among her plants and flowers. As a matter of fact, she was still proudly mowing her own lawn into her 90's!!! Our courtyards were a special place for Ginny and her daughters – a place of beauty, comfort, and gentle joy. Ginny loved the open space, the fresh air, the surrounding flowers, and yes, the ducks. But most of all, she enjoyed the time she spent there with her daughters.
May these benches offer a place in our courtyards where Ginny’s memory will continue to bloom. We would also like to thank Ginny’s daughters - their love and generosity made these two benches possible, creating a lasting tribute rooted in flowers, care, and the community they shared with their mother. And, once a member of the St. Camillus Family, always a member. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the nurses on our C-unit and all of the supporting staff whose compassionate care surrounded Ginny with comfort, dignity, and kindness. Know that these benches will serve as a very special gift to our residents and their loved ones for years to come.
So, the next time you are visiting one of our courtyards, be sure to stop to smell the roses, sitting on one of Ginny's benches. ❤🌹
