MEMORIAL DAY REMEMBRANCE:

Thank you to all residents and family

members who joined us for our annual

Resident Memorial Service on May 12.

Nearly 65 people came together to

remember and celebrate the lives of former

New Horizons residents who profoundly

touched our community. Reverend Mary

Bettencourt, accompanied by Sounds of

Grace, led this poignant service that

recognizes and celebrates the very strong

bonds we all share as members of the

extended New Horizons family.

NEW RESIDENT: Barbara McElhinney, Suite 445, joins us from her home in Melrose. The

mother of six children, Barbara spent much of her adult life living in Winchester and worked

for many years at Winchester Indoor Tennis Center as secretary and bookkeeper. She is the

wife of the late Winchester Fire Chief Bob McElhinney and sister-in-law of resident Jean

McElhinney.

We extend a warm welcome to Barbara and wish her much happiness in her new home.

NEW STAFF: Please welcome Allyson Giso, Brendan Maye, and Luther Thiogene to our dining room

crew. We are very pleased to have them join our team!

God took the strength of a mountain,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of a summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of night,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle’s flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities.

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew his masterpiece was complete,

And so, He called it—Dad.

Happy Father’s Day!
