Thank You Corner Mere words cannot express the profound caring that comes pouring out of this community after the death of my husband. Over the years we have read this column, but until you experience the depth of the love personally, you only then understand this meaning. Remember, Bill, “You Still Light Up My Life.” Karen Hasselbach A huge thank you to our restaurant manager and kitchen supervisors who made a week-long commitment to help Vistoso Helpful Hands (VHH) provide food service for a home-bound resident. Two meals a day were lovingly prepared and delivered by 13 dedicated VHH volunteers. It’s this caring attitude that makes SCOV the place we love to call home. Barb McNeill, VHH Chair To all our friends and neighbors in Sun City: In the time of our grief, the Pidone family, Michael, David, Tracey, Todd and Michael II, have just two words that mean a lot to us. Thank you.
