We will be holding our 1st annual Mindy S. Lauf golf outing on August 9th all proceeds will be donated to the Good Grief Fun Camp. This is a camp created by Hopsice for children 5-18, to provide creative ways for kids to express their emotions related to death of a loved one and grief, so they can continue with the camp in the years to come.
I spoke with Julie Mason at the hospice center in Ottawa when we were looking for a organization to donate the money too. At the time I spoke with her they had just went over the budget for next year and she was worried about how they would be able to continue. When I told her what we had planned she was speechless and then started to cry and thank us for helping them out. I took this as a sign that this was the group we needed to help and knew Mindy would be looking down at us with pride.
Mady was able to go to her first camp this summer and loved it. She told me that it was alright to cry that everyone deals with losing someone differently. Somedays I think she has dealt with losing Mindy better than the rest of us.
