We invite you to share a memory, photo, favorite toy or any item with the group at a monthly chapter meeting on the birthday month of your child. This is an opportunity for all to get to know your loved one a bit more. Please contact Jim or Tanya before the meeting so we give you a bit of time to share. Benchmarks Goodbye would be too difficult, although I know you are gone. Instead, I keep you in my heart and your memory lives on. I have redfined my purpose, son, since you are no longer here. With your death I faced a choice, to die, exist or to live free. My life has changed forever, child, I'm redefined each week, You would call these "benchmarks" of goals set and achieved. And so I set my benchmarks, achieving many, reshaping some... But everything is different now, except your mother's love. Annette Mennen Baldwin, TCF Katy, TX, in memory of her son, Todd Mennen Facebook Group We now have a facebook group. Please know this is a private group vs public.

greatly appreciated LOVE GIFTS
A Love Gift is a gift of money (or books) to The Compassionate Friends. It is usually in memory of a child,
grandchild or sibling who has died, but it may be from individuals who wish to honor a relative or friend who
has died, a gift that their children are alive, or simply a gift from someone who wants to help.
The Compassionate Friends charges no individual dues or fees and depends on such Love Gifts to meet the
Chapter’s expenses, including the printing and mailing of this newsletter.
Please send any Love Gifts to our treasurer, Donna Knickmeyer,
W14118 Selwood Drive, Prairie du Sac, WI 53578
Checks should be made out to “The Compassionate Friends.”
