Sorrow
May 27, 2020	passing of Dorothy Warner, PGO Laurel Springs #227 Dorothy Virginia Warner, has passed due to complications of Parkinsons disease. She had a very full life,-and also was a good-hearted, wonderful human being who loved people, butterflies, sunflowers, her family, and everything in between. Born on January 27th, 1943 and married to Ernest Douglass Farrell, had two children, Steven Douglass and Sandra Lee. After the passing of Ernest, Dorothy remarried to Charles F. Warner. She was able to further her love of travel and life itself. Dorothy was widowed in 2015, and continued to be a bright light to everyone around her until her final days, always loving to be included in good times and reciprocating that feeling back to everyone. She will be lost but never forgotten.

Apr 11, 2020	message from Debbie LeDoux, President OES Home Board The Home has purchased an iPad so residents can communicate with their loved ones. They are also using it for Residents that are on Hospice or not doing well so they can see and speak to their loved ones. The Eastern Star Home has several empty beds and at the present time they are not allowed to accept any new residents, which is hurting them financially. Also because of the increase in purchasing protective equipment supplies needed for the Residents and Staff combatting the Covid-19 virus, our medical supply bill is high. If you would like to make a donation to help with the cost of the medical supplies or so they could purchase another iPad; please make a check payable to New Jersey Eastern Star, Inc. and mail it to 111 Finderne Avenue, Bridgewater, NJ 08807 and in the memo line put Covid- 19. I thank you in advance for your help and please stay safe.
