Thank-you to Monika at MonPhotography for the wonderful photos of the wedding! Happiness Is getting married!

Not many times do you have the honor to plan a wedding when you work in hospice. However over the past week, One Community Hospice & Palliative Care was able to do just that! Howard Dearing knew his happiest day would be to marry his longtime girlfriend of 17 years, Shelia. Many donations was made by the One Community Staff and some from the community. Many thanks to MonPhotography, Kennedy’s Jewelers, D’Agee & Co Florist and Christian Brothers Automotive of Independence.
