It begins with the personal: In 1984, while visiting her mother, Marjorie Moore became aware of the need long term care facility patients have for visitors. She took a course on pastoral care and worked on her own for four years. Today, a quarter century later, Marjorie has converted a personal mission into a network. She works along with nine volunteers to visit people in hospitals, nursing and retirement homes in the Burlington and Oakville, Ont., areas. She was honoured last November by her congregation of Knox. Later there was fellowship and, of course, cake.
