Program
Mike Bates introduced Kim Wagner, the director of family services at Westford Funeral Home. She is member of national Speaker Bureau and practices as a motivational speaker. Her husband is a Lutheran pastor and they have 4 kids and 4 grandkids. Kim’s talk was titled "Rethinking Life Interruptions”, dealing with cancer, chemotherapy, radiation, and how that experience actually opened her eyes to a new gratitude she now feels for life and even a thankfulness for the experience of going through that ordeal.
