[Womensconnection] A Message from LCC Grief Ministry

[Jennifer Shannon]

Geralyn Leipold, leader of the LCC Grief Ministry, is looking for people who can sew.  Please read a note from Geralyn:

I would like to provide the grieving families with a very, very special keepsake, but need people who can sew & who would like to be a blessing to families who lose loved ones.

When my dad passed away, I had a teddy bear made from one of his flannel shirts.  The bear was made by the sister of a co-worker and it cost me $35.  Admittedly, she did a nice job, but I can't expense $35 per bear to LCC.  I wondered if there were women at LCC who would be interested in helping out.

Another example - using Donna Hamilton's bathrobe, Penny Strawcutter made an 18" bear & 2 smaller bears for Lisa Johnson & her 2 daughters.  Penny is also planning to make a teddy bear for Sandy Rizzo using one of Vern's fleece tops.  I really need more help than Penny for this program to be successful.  Even now we have others in mind that we'd like to do similar projects for. 

I bought a simple pattern so that the bears wouldn't be too time-consuming to make.  You don't need to be a professional sewer.

Please contact me if you'd like more information and would like to participate in this very special keepsake.
