The
Gift Of Giving

Marie Goodrich
& Jumper |
Marie J. Goodrich wanted to celebrate Grace Cottage's 60th Anniversary
by donating $60, but she couldn't give that amount all at once. So,
each month since July, Marie has sent a check for $20.
Marie's devotion sums up what makes Grace Cottage special; last
year, donations such as Marie's totaled almost $600,000 given in
appreciation or support of patient care at Grace Cottage.
Currently a resident of Saxtons River, VT, Marie and her husband,
Harvey (who died in 1989), were neighbors to many - at one time
or another, they lived in Townshend, Wardsboro, Jamaica, and Athens
Grafton, as they raised their five children.
"Grace Cottage Hospital has been there for my family since
1965," said Marie. "Two of my children were born there,
and I've been in rehabilitation twice at Grace Cottage in the past
four years. I was treated very well by everyone.
"In fact, if you can say that you enjoyed yourself at a hospital,
I did!" she said, adding that, "Grace Cottage still offers
personal patient care, second to none."
