E mbracE it with our comforting soup mixEs a cup of hot tEa from "r Epublic of t Ea " b Eautiful warm cozy throws Grief support group to meet Oct. 6 The grief support meet- ing will take place at the Mustang Diner in Heppner on Oct. 6 at noon. Everyone is welcome to attend the no-host lunch and listen to the speaker. The support group includes a diverse group of people who have experienced grief, includ- ing people who have lost children, aunts, uncles, sib- lings, spouses and parents. This month the group will have Patty Nance speak about grief. Nance has been the pastor of Heppner Unit- ed Methodist church for two years. Nance and her husband Jerry have lived in the Heppner area for six years. She comes from a large family and is a wife, a rancher and “enjoys life to the fullest.” Her back- ground includes being a former journalist and own- ing several newspapers. Nance says she has ex- perienced all sides of grief and has always felt called to be an advocate in helping everyone through grief, but especially young widows, as she herself was in those same shoes. Anyone is welcome. If you know someone who would like to come, please invite them. Questions, please call Jean Adams, 676-5841, or MaryAnn Elguezabal, 209-404-9072.
