She was also an avid journalist, documenting decades of her life in vivid detail, including each and every visit with family and friends, meals she shared with others, and nature she observed.

In January, Morrison Friends Food Pantry at Morrison United Methodist Church, 200 W. Lincolnway, will remain “open” on its usual Thursday hours, 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. New hours begin in February: 8 to 10 a.m.

Also beginning in January, clients

will not enter the church but will need to enter the driveway from Lincolnway on the west side of the building and pull forward. Outside, volunteers will take orders for one-a-month foodstuff rations. Clients should drive forward, turn right onto West Knox

Street, and await pickup from the north door. Staff will use hand sanitizer before they bring the client’s items to their vehicles.

Morrison Friends Food Pantry was begun in 1985 when resident Phyllis Fell asked Morrison Ministers Council to support her in opening a community food pantry. Churches would oversee, with Fell assisting, to help

feed the less fortunate of our community. Originally housed in a basement closet at City Hall, the pantry moved to an empty Sunday school room in Morrison United Methodist Church. It still is located upstairs in adjoining Rooms 203 and 205.

Special thanks are given to his caregivers and Becky Rath and her FHN Hospice team for their amazing care while Dad was at home and first in the nursing home. They made Dad comfortable and gave us great counsel and advice.

Additionally, we wish to acknowledge the love and care shown to Dad by the nursing staff and CNAs at Allure of Mt. Carroll. What you do for the residents to make them feel at home is truly amazing.

Also, we would like to extend our thanks to Pastor Sun-Ah Kang for her kind words of comfort during the funeral service as you took our stories and incorporated them into your message so we could laugh through our tears.

And finally, we are especially grateful to Matt Jones and the staff at Law Jones Funeral Home for their help in planning Dad's service. Again, thanks to you all for your many acts of kindness and support.

Donna and David Bielema and family Brad and Sharon Law and Cory Tresa Wilkinson and Larry Randecker and family SM-ST1947529

Continually Improving for 102 Years Celebrating the past and stepping into the future

Thank you, Wahl Employees, for helping us reach such heights.

As we step in 2022, we want to express our sincere gratitude to our employees for your commitment and hard work throughout the years.

It’s because of you that we continue to be the world leader in clipping and grooming products across six continents, in 165 different countries. No matter where we expand, our strong roots are here in our hometown of Sterling, Illinois, where it all began. It’s the community of Sterling that has been and will be our home for many years to come. We are continuing to invest in innovation, and while products may change, our commitment to our values, our people, and our customers will always remain constant.

Our excellence is because you helped make it happen. 102 years and still cutting edge.

Sincerely,
