Dr. Susan Mertz: A Celebration of Life
If you feel called to donate in Dr. Susan’s honor, we recommend the following:
Team Gleason - This organization is dedicated to improving life for people living with ALS and those who care for them by delivering innovative technology and equipment, as well as providing and empowering an improved life experience. Their donation of an electric wheelchair made such a difference in Susan’s quality of life in the last few months of life.
Support the Evergreen Fund - By specifying that your gift is in honor of Susan Mertz, you ensure the continuance of her vision of a strong NC Charter with a focus on environmental education and academic excellence.
Turn, Turn, Turn (Adapted by Pete Seeger from Ecclesiastes)
To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn,
And a time to every purpose under heaven,
A time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, a time to reap,
A time to kill, a time to heal, a time to laugh, a time to weep.
To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn,
And a time to every purpose under heaven,
A time to build up, a time to break down, a time to dance, a time to mourn,
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together.
To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn,
And a time to every purpose under heaven,
A time of love, a time of hate, a time of war, a time of peace,
A time that you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing.
To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn,
And a time to every purpose under heaven,
A time to gain, a time to lose, a time to rend, a time to sow,
A time for love, a time for hate, a time for peace,
I swear it’s not too late.
To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn,
And a time to every purpose under heaven,
And a time to every purpose under heaven,
