A source of comfort

Описание: For the Good Samaritan Society, bedside memorial services represent a basic element in the organization's approach to end-of-life care. The service supports residents and staff members in their grief, acknowledges the loss felt when a resident has died, and provides an opportunity to remember the person, celebrate his life and lift that person to God in prayer.

The Good Samaritan Society - Socorro in Socorro, N.M., is among Society locations to offer a bedside memorial. But at Socorro, the memorial includes a feature unique to the center: a hymn or two sung by resident Lois Aldrich, 102.
