| On
June 6, 2009, the serene and picturesque memorial garden
at the Eaton Community Hospice House was dedicated in
memory of Leland and Opal Peck. The
Memorial Garden was made possible by a generous donation from Dick and Jan Wendorf.
Jan Wendorf
gave a moving speech on how her relationship developed
with Eaton Community Hospice before presenting the garden
as a gift to Margaret Kyser, Executive Director of Eaton
Community Hospice.
The garden
has many concrete pathways, a wheel chair accesible gazebo,
and a pond viewing deck. The major focal point to
the garden is a large pond with a magnificent
fountain. It was a beautiful day with lots of
sunshine, cookies, and punch.
The
Memorial Garden plaque reads:
In
Loving Memory of
Leland
E. and Opal O. Peck
Cannot
do a kindness too soon, for
you never know how soon it will be too
late. Think of people in your life. Ask
where the good way is, and walk it, and
you will find rest for your soul.

House to take a walk in this
peaceful, flower-filled memorial garden to truly comprehend its
beauty and grandeur. |
