As much $ as we had donated in the past to the cancer society they turned their backs on us and would offer no help. I found out about H.O.P.E. and they jumped in to help us. They gave me free hats, a wig, a chemo blanket and other things that I could use. They let me use their books and I learned a lot. When my chemo stopped and I started to grow my hair back I was able to donate the items back so they could use it for other people who need it. We still keep in touch with HOPE and they will always be part of our family. They are true blessing!

Every person that is represented around the memorial is someone who without regard for their own safety laid their life down to protect our communities. Each name represents a family who has lost a son, daughter, mother, father, brother, or sister. There are few who honor their own better than the Fire Service, this is the memorial that ensures we don't forget those who risk their lives each and every day in every community in our great country. Whether paid or volunteer, they respond to each and every call for help regardless of the sacrifice. While visiting, please remember when the flags are at half mast, as they are too frequently, a firefighter or EMT has paid the ultimate price.

Unfortunately, our time was limited as we were invited as guests to witness the return of something special belonging to Mother Seton. We met in the Marian Room, which had lovely display cases filled with statues of the Virgin Mary (as well as icons) from around the world. We also had a few minutes in the Civil War Sisters Room which highlighted how the sisters served as nurses and were called "angels of the battlefield" by both Union and Confederate soldiers. We then went up to visit the Basilica. The church was completed in 1965, so it is a new church by most standards. It was designed to be just a chapel for the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph. Their order was founded in 1809 and later became known as the Daughters of Charity. All plans were changed when Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton was beatified on March 17, 1963 by Pope John 23rd in Rome, Italy (which I was fortunate enough to attend as I was living in Rome at the time). They decided to build a larger church to honor Blessed Elizabeth Ann Seton. In 1991, the shrine's chapel was designated as a minor basilica by Pope John Paul II. The church is large, open, simple, and just beautiful. Make sure you take time to admire the multiple stained glass windows, the marble and bronze, and the mosaics - especially around the main altar. The many works of art can be attributed to artisans and craftsmen from Italy and Germany. When Mother Seton was canonized in 1975, she was the first American saint of only three in the Catholic Church's history. Her remains were moved from the "God's Little Acre" cemetery to the basilica. There is a special altar on the right side that is called the Altar of Relics. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton's remains rest in a small copper casket beneath the altar enclosed in marble. There is a small relic sitting on top of the altar. The statue of Mother Seton has her dressed in the habit that she and the Sisters of Charity wore since 1809. It was sculpted in Italy. Please do take the time to see the entire complex. It is so worth it!

I recently brought a rug in that I have brought in to another cleaner in Boston 2X and Old McDowell's 1x (all 3 times very dirty and it came out looking brand new. So beautiful, outstanding transformation, is how I would describe it. I Just had this same rug done by under new management McDowell's and the back of it is gray almost and the color much darker in color like the water they washed it with was gray/black and dirty and it was not well rinsed. It's improved, definitely shows some sign of cleaning, but the color of the rug is MUCH darker and has a grey cast. It's ugly. This was nor washed well. I can't tell you how beautiful it came out the 2x in Boston and the best of all times when old McDowells did it. S ame rug. It was far less dirty t time then those other 3. I don't know what was done here, but truly disappointed, that my rug is now a different color and looks grey, like they dipped and washed it in filthy water. this was not washed in clean water and was not rinsed enough times. I had heard negative things from people about the new ownership, so held off on cleaning this as I figured they would get their sea legs. Apparently, not so. This is a rug that when properly cleaned is very light and lovely and really brightens up and is much lighter, it has NEVER HAD A GRAY UNDERSIDE. I don't know what you did but it looks awful. really yucky. Rug was not even wrapped, something other co's did. I think i could have dragged this out on my parking pad and cleaned it more effectively.

It ruined the fine Chinese silk rug I warily brought in after decades of relying on McDowell's for all my orientals. Not only is its sheen now obliterated by overly-harsh treatment, but stains and soiling remain, Overall the surface is brighter. To be fair, at drop-off the dealer advised that a rug so soiled might well have to go out again to a second firm for more thorough cleaning. I declined, knowing that the McDowells l knew always succeeded in restoring pieces in similar condition. Its expert specialists performed all the work themselves, adding relatively little cost when extra care was necessary. At pickup the dealer attempted to stuff the bound rug into my arms without display. Upon inspection I expressed displeasure with the outcome. He wryly noted, "Silk rugs are meant to be hung on the wall." Wish I had asked, "Then why do they have two fringes?"
