To the editor:

To the caring community of Shelby County: You have outdone yourselves this year with the Caring at Christmas donations! Thanks to all of you our total was over $24,656 this year!

Even in this troubled economy, the people of Shelby County have come through with their great generosity. With this year’s fantastic contributions, we will have given Wilson Hospice program around $506,865.32 over the last 21 years.

This is to help our family members, friends and Shelby County neighbors spend their last moments peacefully.

We appreciate all of you for your generosity and want to commend Wilson Hospice Care for the great service they perform. May your new year be filled with peace and joy!

The Caring at Christmas Committee
