July 2017
A Message from the Executive Director:
You might have noticed, my title has changed! Having handed over the presidential gavel to the newly elected Taylor Kellstrom, I now assume the role of Executive Director. I am honored and proud to do so. Working in service of our brave cancer warriors and their families is at once rewarding, joyful, and heart-breaking. On May 2, 2017, one of those brave fighters came to the end of her life journey.
Dayvena
McGruder was more than a Circle of Hope client, she was a part of our family. She was a person of integrity, spirit, devotion and love. Her family writes,”Dayvena loved life and always lived it to the fullest each and every day. Her life journey was filled with challenges she loved, blessed with accomplishment, and she consistently looked for opportunities to help, recognize, and lift up others…. Dayvena always put others first. She would go out of her way to make someone feel special. God blessed her with many gifts which she truly utilized to make the world a better place.” We feel that way, too. Dayvena, her husband Darmon and son Donovan made Santa Clarita their home for 34 years. She will be greatly missed.
