Shirley
Martin
Continued from Page 1
sometimes claims its victims within a
year. Nevertheless she has gradually
lost the function of some of her limbs
and is now unable to support her own
weight.
Over the years a special bond has
developed between Shirley and the
nursing staff at Madison Home Care.
Nurses and aides visit the Martin
home weekly to check for complica
tions, look for skin problems resulting
from immobility, and monitor her
vital signs and range of motion.
While the nurses are there primarily
for medical care and consultation, an
equally important responsibility is to
provide psychological support for pa
tients and their families.
Brenda Pace, R.N., has visited the
Martin family two or three times a
month for the last six years. With
tears in her eyes, she stated that the
Martins have become like a second
family to her. Over the years she has
shared their ups and downs, their
joys and sorrows. "We become very
close to a lot of our patients," she
said. "One of the hardest things
about my job is' to see our patients
deteriorate, to see them slip away.
Sometimes we laugh together, and a
lot of times we cry together ".
Jeralene Gunter, Madison Home
Care nursing aide, echoed Brenda's
sentiments. "I have seen Shirley now
twice a week for six years," she
said."With all her problems, Shirley
never fails to ask me about my
children. She is always smiling,
always brave. She is truly a special
person. When the end comes, it will
be like losing a member of my own
family"
In on*, way or another, we are all
enriched by the extraordinary
courage of the "Shir leys" of the
world and by the unselfish com pas
sion of those who serve them Thank
you, Shirley Martin, for being an in
spiration to us all. And thank you,
Madison Home Care nurses, for car
? very special way.

When the Jirst
move is yours
Under the rules of chess white moves first.
Experts say a strong opening puts an
opponent on the defensive, an advantage which
maintained promises victory. A careless,
thoughtless opening invites defeat.
Next Sunday we'll be starting a new week.
Church bells remind us how millions of families
begin their week. Strength comes with seeking
the power and the promises of God. Then the
ensuing days can be turned to spiritual and
moral victory.
Start your week with worship. It makes
sense to choose the strongest opening!
