Our fun people Meals on Wheels

These are some of our "HOME BOUND" sisters & brothers that we deliver Meals on Wheels to every Wednesday and Friday. They love to have someone to just talk to and feel important and  Sister Wilson is SUPER at that!!!!

Nice comfortable little home on the inside but on the
outside, it looks like an abandoned sad little home.
This is Pauline Surgent from Pardesville, very hard of
hearing so we knock hard and go in.  She chose to never marry
as she was preparing and going  to school to become a nun.
Super nice but VERY CATHOLIC!!

Dear Ed Rapetz.  He never changes his position.  We knock, go in, put his lunch
in his walker and his dinner in the fridge.  He is always smiling and cheerful
as he watches his big screen.  He loves the oldies, black or color.  Ed is an old
timer and can tell you tons about the coal mining area and it's history.
Wish we had more time to listen to his great stories.

Joseph Rush is always sitting in a chair in his kitchen with all his meds, news papers,
 phone, bills and controls (anything he might need) piled on the table in front of him
so he doesn't have to move.  His lunch goes on the table and dinner in the fridge.
He is pleasant enough.  He prefers Ross to do the delivery which is okay by Tammy.

Sweet smiley Mrs. Scham (Millie).  Her husband gets the meal
but she is always there to greet and visit for a minute.
They are one of two in Pardesville.  Millie flirts with Ross and
loves to sneak a hug when every she can from Ross or Tammy.

Marjorie Penkala (DOLLY). Dolly is one of our favorites.  She suffers from 

MS, cancer and depression but is fun to visit. We always end up

 laughing though a few tears may fall before hand.  Her accent is fun to 

hear and she educates us on the local cuisine and traditions.  She was born

 in her home and lived there all her life. The home is a typical three story 

"double home" (plus a basement) that doesn't have a front door,it may 

sound big but it IS NOT. The main floor is as about the size of my family 

room.  The second floor is the bathroom (tiny) and two very small

 bedrooms and the third floor is one bedroom.

Tony Meyers (& SCOOBIE-DOO)  Tony and Dolly are best friends 

but I'm getting the impression they have lived together at one time, 

I'm sure it was for convenience, hmmm.  Tony also has MS and lives in 

a fairly new home he had built, it is light and roomy, all on one level.  

He is always in a wheel chair but will not be kept down, he drives his 

own van and gets around pretty good.  We get to hug sweet little Scoobie 

once a week which gives us a "fix", we pretend he is Roxie.

Mary Kitchen sweet little old lady with multiple sclerosis and lives on the

 2nd floor  in an old dilapidated 100 plus year old 3 story building.  She chose

never to marry because she didn't want to bring children into this terrible

world but now she is lonesome.     

Mrs. Moyer is always bright and happy.  

Ross always takes this meal  in to her and she always

 asks him to pray for her.  She thinks he is a minister.
