One of the first things I did when I was healed was to become trained as a Heartland Hospice volunteer. I loved it. It's an incredible blessing to be apart of this most intimate and spiritual event in the life of someone. And it's humbling to be a presence and a source of information to family and friends at a time when others have a tendency to shy away.

   It was because of this experience, and prompting from Janet, a dear friend and Heartland Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, the cards were designed. If I had not been involved in hospice, I never would have known how people give of themselves so that those who are dying are still a part of life. Volunteers visit patients, make crafts, work in the office, sew cloth pieces onto a memorial quilt, and make bereavement calls to family members for up to a year after someone has died. Everytime a volunteer does one of these things, they touch the life of someone and imprints their heart forever.

  Each card provides a unique way for Hospice Coordinators to say thank you to their volunteers for giving of their time, energy, and love. There are 5 verses; one for visitors, crafters, quilters, bereavement callers, and office volunteers, and one sympathy card that is appropriate for all volunteers. Cards can be stamped with either a butterfly or heart design, and all come with a Scripture card insert. Price is notated for buying individual cards. If buying more than one,please contact me via email for price listing and to determine payment method.

***Some of the verses can also be used for volunteers in other agencies. Any Volunteer Coordinator who would like a card series written for their specific need, please feel free to contact me.
