She died while I was mid-flight on my way to visit her in the hospital. She was 86, had fallen, and had complications.
In her town, when what appeared to be a driverless big car came grinding down the street in second gear, someone always chuckled, “Here comes Mary.” Barely five feet tall, she couldn’t see over the steering wheel, so she looked under it to see where she was going. Driving in second gear felt safer.
Q: I’ve noticed a new vehicle parked in the facility parking lot. Did Meadowlark Hills purchase a new bus?
We did recently purchase an additional bus. The purchase was made in response to the increase in outings, especially in the Healthcare Households and due to the age of our other buses. The bus has capacity for 12 people, including two places for wheelchairs. We now have a total of three buses. This was a great question to remind me of how wonderful our Transportation Team is! They are hardworking, responsive and enjoyable to work with.
