ROCHELLE — In 2016, Serenity had the privilege of serving the family of Don Bruce, a 40-year resident of Polo.
He came into Serenity Home to spend his final days. Anyone who knew him, knew he was kind and generous and a hard worker. He died young at the age of 69. He was also tall. Very tall. After his death, his wife, Jane, expressed an interest in helping Serenity obtain a bariatric bed for larger patients. Her generosity, along with a grant from Woodward Governor in Rockford, allowed Serenity to turn one of their patient rooms into a bariatric room.
If you have ever visited Serenity, you know that quilts are symbolic of the comfort and peace found within our hospice home. Serenity’s collection of quilts are made with love by various artists and they serve to remind us of all the people and families we have served.
