Caregivers Thank You

By Diane R Wallace

The death of my mother, Joyce Youngs, only months from laying my sister, Carol Peasley to rest, has brought an unexpected onslaught of unexpected community support.

A special thank you to my friends and former co-workers from the Adair County Health Department (Rhonda, Cindy, Brooke, Pam and Melody); the Caregivers Support Group (Linda and Betty), my mothers best friend, Joyce Evans, who faithfully made regular visits with mom, Joy Miller who helped me maintain sanity; Janet Wright (Greensburg) who tended to mother to the very end; the staff at Bank of Columbia; Hosparus (Christy, Sarah, Robin, and Deanna). Also thank you for the many check-ins with text messages, phone calls and cards with whom I have shared my struggles and whom have also shared their own struggles with me.

My family, all rural New York transplants: brother-in-law (Ken Peasley), my father (Richard A. Youngs) sister (Carol Peasley, and now my mother (Joyce Youngs) are resting in peace here in Columbia, KY. I am so thankful for the compassion and friendship received from this community. God Bless All of You.
