In my role as Chaplain at Mennonite Memorial Home, I was blessed to meet many special residents. Some modeled not only great faith, but also special talents. Grace Moyer Frounfelker was one.
Very sharp of mind in her nineties, she was a native of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and had been living in Bluffton. She was active at First Mennonite Church. She and her husband had lived in a wilderness area out west. He was an outdoorsman and psychologist and wore a beard before beards became commonplace among men.

Recent reports of hospice fraud across the country have created concern among healthcare professionals, patients and families. While these cases are serious and deserve attention, it is important to recognize that fraudulent activity represents a small portion of the hospice industry. The vast majority of hospice providers remain committed to delivering ethical, compassionate and patient-centered end-of-life care.
