While she\u2019s excited to bring everyone together one last time, knowing it\u2019s the last time changes that feeling a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0been interesting because my response that\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0gotten from people,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a happy, but\u00a0it\u2019ll\u00a0be a sad occasion. There\u2019ll\u00a0be some tears there for sure. We\u2019re\u00a0not getting any younger, those\u00a0who worked at the Holy Family, we\u2019re not teenagers anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Holy Family Hospital in 1997.
