WHAT’S ON OUR MIND

When it came time for Eva Murphy to make a move from Wichita, the choice was easy. With her grown grandchildren and a son nearby, she’s also enjoyed more frequent visits from family. Since her move to Aberdeen Village last summer, Eva is making friends and enjoying life in her new home.

When family and friends gather for funeral or memorial services, they recount a lifetime of moments otherwise known as “the dash.” I’m sure your family is like mine and exactly what we remember about someone’s “dash” may differ from person to person, which makes total sense to me, since none of us approach the exact same story or experience at the exact same time, perspective or history. The greatest joy of being a Hospice Chaplain and a Heart & Soul Hospice Team member is helping families remember – and celebrate! – their loved one’s “dash”!

Senior artists in the Olathe area are invited to participate in Aberdeen Village’s annual Art is Ageless® exhibit and juried art competition March 25 – April 29. Artists may choose to enter the exhibit only. For the competition, works are to have been completed in the past five years (since January 2017). Works to be entered for judging need to be at Aberdeen Village by March 18.
