  3. Your Actions Thrive
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    In words, you weave a tapestry of care,
    But it is the deeds that truly mark you rare.
    For kindness isn’t whispered, empty wind,
    It blossoms in the service that you lend.

    In our community, your actions thrive,
    An example of compassion, strong and alive.
    With every selfless act, a truth is shown:
    You speak of kindness with the work you’ve sown.

  12. Mr. Cherry was a long time friend who was always the same, friendly and a calm reassuring presence. I’ve known him since my days at UWM when I would go over to Columbia Hospital and I recently got reconnected with him since returning to the Milw Regional Medical Complex. It won’t be the same when I walk through Children’s Wisconsin, knowing I won’t meet up with him. My sincere condolences to the family, you will be in my prayers for comfort and peace that passeth all understanding.
