18 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | SEPTEMBER 2021 | "With each sunrise we are given a chance for a new beginning!" Team Sunshine has returned in full bloom! Our first face-to-face meeting was held on Aug. 2 with a fantastic turnout that included nine new Sunshiners. Celebrations of Life: On July 17 Team Sunshine was honored to assist the family of Eileen Ferguson as they celebrated the life of this very special lady. We have been notified of several passings and celebrations of life are being planned for a few of them. Sadly, our community has lost Wynelle O'Quinn, Dennis Harris, David Stipp and Donna Kelsey in recent weeks. We extend our heartfelt condolences to these families. A Time to Remember: We invited all residents who wished to honor a loved one who had passed, to join us for this afternoon of remembrance. Sarah Fredricksen, a Four Seasons resident and Chaplain with VITAS Healthcare officiated at this moving program. Songs and a reading by Chaplain Mark Ruybalis of Arbor Hospice were included. Four Seasons' Dave Tuvim provided beautiful piano music throughout the afternoon. Team Sunshine strives to bring comfort to our neighbors and we continue to ask that you let us know if you have a neighbor or friend in Four Seasons who may be struggling with isolation, a recent injury, or a lingering illness. Send a note or call us and we will see the information gets to our Card and Phone teams. It is amazing how something as simple as an unexpected card or phone call, can brighten someone's day. Prayer Requests: For those wishing prayer, a request box is provided in the Multipurpose Room for your convenience. Prayer cards are provided. Marietta Ruppaner collects prayer requests weekly and emails them to members of the prayer team. The prayer team will begin meeting in person very soon. If you are interested in joining, please call Marietta. How to contact Team Sunshine: Caring Connection cards that detail Team Sunshine's services are available at The Lodge. You may also call Co-Chairs Brenda Beers at (951) 306-6670 or Margie Culton at (951) 491-4058.
