Bereavement
Services Supporting

“Out of the
Darkness”

Sadly, Serenity has seen an upsurge in
those affected by suicide who are using
our bereavement services. Serenity
Hospice CNA, Jen Bemis, has been
effected by suicide twice in her life. Her
father and her niece both committed
suicide. Her father in 1988 and her
niece earlier this year. Because of this,
Jen has started Team Marissa in honor
of her niece. The team will walk in the
Sauk Valley Out of the Darkness event
on Sept. 15 in Lowell Park in Dixon.
The Team has a goal of raising $2500.
If you would like to contribute to Jen’s
team and help them reach their goal,
please send a check made out to the
American Suicide Prevention
Foundation and mail it to 1658 S. IL Rt.
2, Oregon IL 61061.
