Extraordinary Response

After working with us for two more years, Tom learned that he had a terminal cancer. A common response to that news would be to go home and withdraw from personal contacts. Tom’s response was anything but common. Instead, Tom marched down the hallway to the media services department and asked them to make a video recording of his death. Some 1800 hours of recording was edited to 20 minutes of the most poignant, insightful commentary on the experience of dying. The film, A Dying Man’s Journey, debuted at the Heartland Film Festival, and is a part of our program, too. Should you choose to use it, it is available from St. Vincent Seton Cove, 2425 Dugan St., Indianapolis IN 46260.
