When asked for copy for the portion of the website that says “About Us” it was not something that was taken lightly. How do you put into mere words what the Community Alliance is and what it does. Can you capture in words the passion of a small group of determined like-minded individuals who decided to take on the subject of end of life and breathe hope and dignity into a subject and community that suffered the injustice of not having a voice in the very end of their lives?

There is no canvas broad enough to paint, nor can manuscript detail enough in words to match the passion and the determination of those that have put their life’s blood and work into improving end of life. We are privileged to be the bearers of the torch and hope that we are worthy of the task put before us.

Please know that we are aware of the work yet to be done and know that we are educators who in retrospect have received more education than at times was given. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in end of life. If you would like to join us in that mission we would be grateful for the company in a journey that at times we struggle to complete. How do we know that there is work yet to be done?

Richard Bach said it best:

“Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: if you’re alive, it isn’t.”

No truer words were ever spoken……we thank you for the opportunity “to improve quality of life for dying persons and to support healthy bereavement experiences for families and friends.”

Kimberly A. Morelock, Executive Director
