What People say…
To the owners and staff at Our Lady of the Meadows, My Mother, MW, was a resident for almost 2 years. Sadly she died in February of pneumonia and complications. Through her time at Our Lady of the Meadows, we were pleased with the wonderful warm care she received. We were so thankful she was there when she could no longer live at home – it gave her family peace of mind. She was a special lady. Sincerely, HM January 2016

Dear Doe Family and Staff, I want to say a most grateful thanks to you all for the compassionate care my brother received for the year he was with you at “Our Lady”. Bruce has been a man of gentle courtesy, humor, and sense of fun in his earlier life. He has been a man of community, family, always willing to help and support – as a volunteer fireman, boy scout leader for decades, senior leader in Masonic circles for the State of Vermont. I believe he knew he received loving care from kind and patient staff. Those behind the scenes, although not visible to me as Bruce’s visitor, obviously take pride in meeting “Our Lady’s” philosophy. Specifically, I think of the cleaning crew-excellent work all the time. And the cooks I met when I delivered 2 baskets of squash from Phineas Swan’s gardens – genuinely thankful as they prepared evening dinner in an organized and clean kitchen. You all are on your toes all the time – and how appreciative I am. I could only manage the driv…

In Loving Memory of “Mo” To all the ones at Our Lady of the Meadows who loved my Mother so, a great big thanks to all of you for taking care of “Mo”. I saw the love, I saw the care, your love poured out from everywhere. You are the best at what you do, and no one can compare.It touched my heart to see your love so willing to share. I will not forget how you took care of me and never made me feel alone. You let me sit by her side as Jesus took her home.She’d want us to remember the good, and have hope for each new day, to lift our eyes to heaven and remember to always pray. So with gratitude and thankfulness, a simple prayer to you, may God Bless the Staff at Our Lady of the Meadows in everything you do! Love,

Dear Loren, all Does and all care givers, First of all, I can’t thank you enough for the love and care given to my mother. When it seemed, there was no place for her to go you took her in, kept her fed and safe. Our Lady of the Meadows is truly a wonderful place. My thanks can’t be put adequately into words. Best,

To all the staff who took such good care of my mother, your kindness will always be remembered. Also the kind words said to me to help me process what was happening and what to expect. I miss my mother very much and think of her every day. I am grateful for all you did for her and myself.

Dear Friends at Our Lady of the Meadows, I want to thank each and every one of you for your tireless and loving care of my mother. She often told me of the kindnesses you had shown her. Some of you spent a few extra minutes to listen to her stories or arranged things – just the way she needed – or brought her something special from the kitchen. She would wonder at your loving care, unable to believe she was worth that extra care. You always showed her that she was! Thank God for all of you and may He protect you and Our Lady! With Love,
Nancy
