To paraphrase Stephen Sondheim, “Good times and bum times. We’ve seen them all and our dears, we’re still here.”
The Big Group continues, supporting those living with life threatening illness, caregiving, grief and bereavement.
If you are a member of the Friends In Deed community and want support, we are here. If you are new to us, we are here. If you’d like to reconnect, we are here. We’d love to see your smiling faces.

It is with sadness we inform you that our friend Bill McCallion has died. A longtime member of the Friends In Deed community, Bill died peacefully at home on November 13 at the age of 71.
Bill was an architect and an activist. He was sober and one of the longest long term survivors of AIDS. Actually he was much more than a survivor. He lived through the experiences, emerging from them with humor, kindness, strength and a fair share of wisdom.
Bill was a tireless supporter of both the Friends In Deed and sobriety communities. He touched all our lives.
Bill, we love you and we miss you.
We mourn the loss and celebrate the life of Valda Setterfield, a longtime member of the Friends In Deed community.

Late last week, we received the news that our friend and longtime member of the Friends In Deed community, Robin Magid died. She touched so many of our lives through leading groups, crisis counseling and with her loving presence. Our condolences go out to her partner, Carol Morgan. Robin was loved by all of us at Friends In Deed and she will be dearly missed.
Thank you, Robin.
In 1991, Friends In Deed opened its doors to those living with life threatening illness, their families, friends and caregivers and to those dealing with grief and bereavement. Thirty years later, there is still a need.

Tuesday from 7:00PM to 8:30PM
Thursday from 5:00PM to 6:00 PM

You are not alone.
To quote a family member, “One of the greatest dogs whoever lived is gone.” Cy’s beloved Louie.
Louie loved all of us and we loved him.
One particular thing Louie loved was to hear our applause at the end of a Big Group. Tonight we paraphrase a line from Peter Pan.
If you believe in Louie, clap your hands.
GOD bless him.
The Big Groups support those living with life threatening illnesses, caregiving, grief and bereavement.
Our groups are drop in with no advance reservation required.
These are the groups formerly run by Friends In Deed.
