It was a tough day walking into Christ’s Table knowing that one of our fearless leaders, Caribeth, would not be popping in. There was a different feeling in the building today—a quiet reminder of how much she meant to all of us.
And then lunch arrived… along with our friends from Midwest Community Service, ready to serve. Before long, laughter and smiles filled the kitchen. There may have even been a sq**rt gun involved—and it was game on!
What a gift that was for our heavy hearts.
It seemed especially fitting because one of Caribeth’s greatest passions was our MRDD community. She loved deeply, respected fiercely, and advocated endlessly for so many over the years. She believed in people, celebrated their gifts, and made sure their voices were heard.
Today, surrounded by the joy, energy, and friendships she cherished so much, we were reminded that the best way to honor her is to keep moving forward and continue the work she loved. Her legacy lives on in every act of kindness, every smile shared, and every life touched.
Thank you, Midwest Community Service, for bringing exactly what we needed today.
