Visit with family and friends before the service beginning at 6 pm.
Park Nicolet Foundation
Rebecca was in Hospice with Park Nicolet beginning December 8 - and received the best of care! One week prior to end of life, she needed hospitalization and because of a generous donor program called "Extra Bed" she was allowed to remain in place the extra 2 days needed - rather than transport to a hospice home. It was a blessing we will never forget!
Normandale Lutheran Church
Rebecca was a member of Normandale Lutheran Church and LOVED the choral music program under David Clarke's direction. We toured with the choir two most recently Ireland in 2014. Blessings to the Leadership team at Normandale and all the congregation!
