Dear Editor,
“Annie received such good care at Pleasant View; the nurses, aides, and staff felt like family.” That’s what the obituary said. However, at the conclusion of Annie’s obituary, donations in her memory were directed elsewhere. That always bothered me, that there was no way to benefit Pleasant View and simultaneously honor the person’s memory through a contribution there.
