Sunshine Quilters' table of “goodies”

Bev Barton — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 09:19:28 +1000

I had a call from the Sunshine Quilters a few weeks ago to say that they had read in our newsletter that Katie Rose Cottage was in need of some toiletries and towels. Along with this on the wish list was the request for CD players for each of our guest’s room.

What a surprise I got when I went along to have morning tea with the quilting group only to find that they had a table of “goodies” for Katie Rose Cottage.

This is what they donated along with a very large box of fruit. Included in the gift were two CD players.

Our sincere thanks to the Sunshine Quilters for their thoughts and continued support.

After two distressing weeks, the Palliative Care Unit at Nambour Hospital suggested Vicki be moved to the hospice, Katie Rose Cottage at Doonan. This was where she spent her last six weeks.
