COMMANDANT’S COLUMN<br />
by Acting Commandant Jackie Moore<br />
Members, Families, Visitors and Staff:<br />
Many of you are aware th<strong>at</strong> Chaplain Tracy<br />
Hamelink was on a medical leave of absence<br />
from her position as Protestant Chaplain <strong>for</strong><br />
the <strong>Wisconsin</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong> <strong>Home</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>King</strong> since<br />
August 2009.<br />
We are sorry to announce th<strong>at</strong> Chaplain Tracy passed away the afternoon<br />
of Friday, March 19. She had recently entered into Hospice Care and<br />
was surrounded by her family.<br />
Tracy worked as a Chaplain in the Spiritual Care Department since<br />
June 2000. She was a vital person in providing <strong>for</strong> the spiritual care and<br />
needs of members who reside here. Chaplain Tracy touched the lives<br />
of members, their families and staff in her work. She cared deeply <strong>for</strong><br />
others and was guided in her work by the religious and spiritual beliefs<br />
she held so dear.<br />
This same faith is wh<strong>at</strong> now sustains us as we hear the news of her<br />
passing. A memorial service will be held <strong>at</strong> the <strong>Wisconsin</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong><br />
<strong>Home</strong> some time in the near future.<br />
We will miss Chaplain Tracy. Please continue to keep her family in<br />
your thoughts and prayers.<br />
