New home for Catherine K. at Meadows...

Yesterday (8-27-14) was a memorable day for Mom and the immediate family.  She moved from Meadows @ Mercy Creek in Normal to its affiliate in Meadows, IL. -- Meadows Mennonite Retirement Community where she will now receive more assistance in her everyday care and needs. 
The move went extremely well with Mom cooperating 100% with her usual upbeat, appreciative attitude.  She just kept saying "This is great.  This is great!".   Her roommate is a lifelong Gridley native and a longtime good friend of mother.  Our Transition Team Captain (Judy) had the moving day planned out and organized well in advance which made the actual move very easy for all the siblings to help.  Mom would love to hear from any of her friends.  And with her love of writing letters, you'll probably get a response back!


 Mom's address is now Meadows Retirement Community, 24588 Church Street, Chenoa Illinois  61726.

She sure looks happy and excited!! You did a good job making her half of the room very cozy. Hope you had a chance to be a little lazy today - I'm sure you were very tired when you got home last night. I think maybe I'll go over and see her in the middle of next week - after she's a little settled in.

Very nice. She deserves to be happy and content. I commend the children for their help.

Looks like she has a very nice situation with an adequate amount of "personal space." What a blessing that it went so smoothly. Love you all and glad you had such a good experience.

Her room looks inviting and I'm so glad for her and all of you that it has worked out so well. ---Carol
