Most parents and primary caregivers agree that one of the primary objectives of raising a child is preparing him or her for life out in the real world. Every family has its own set of values it passes on to its children. Some value empathy, some value respect, and some value kindness. Some value all these and more. Regardless of what the family’s moral and ethical code is, after these fundamental building blocks, almost all parents and primary caregivers strive to instill some sort of work ethic into their children.

 

 

 

Dear Editor,

 

To all of the nurses of hospice and the administration, there are no words to say about the love and compassion all the nurses did for my husband.

 

If you ever need help, the Benton County Hospice nurses are your salvation. They made my husband think he was the only one, and for that I am so grateful. 

 

Also for the compassion they showed for me.  So thank you each and every one of you. God bless you. How lucky we are to have dedicated nurses for our county.

 

March has just about bitten the dust and in April there’s hope for some warm breezes and sunshine. This is not a promise, however, because April can turn mean. Sometimes it seems the years have gone as quickly as did March. It seems just like yesterday that Niece Gabrielle Lorenz was starting grade school. Now she’s a PhD (doctoral) student in Biomedical Engineering.
