I deeply appreciate your expression of
sympathy and love during this difficult time.
Lou certainly enjoyed his short time here at
Pine Ridge South. He felt your love for him,
and he loved each one of you. One of our last
conversations was that he was very relieved that
he was leaving me in such a caring community.
Kind souls like you make my heavy burden a
little lighter.
On behalf of the entire Lemba Family, thank
you. MAY GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU.

6 - The Pine Bark - February
Word from the Office January 2023 print February in
“Pine Bark”
Season’s Greeting and Happy Healthy New Year to you and
your families. January is a time to rest and reflect on the busy
2022 year.
Beyond the stress, the hustle and bustle, and family times,
I encourage you to reflect on your year behind and your year
forward. What went well, where you are now, and what do you
want to change for next year?
Taking time for rest and reflection is not a practice many of us
do, including myself, but I have found that reflection is not only
the best gift to myself, but it truly gives to others. How? As we rest, we rejuvenate ourselves to be present
and ready for others in the coming month and year. We will perhaps relax enough to be genuine and find that
compassion truly gives meaning.
Blessings to each of you, and may the spirit of the season fill our world with Peace and Joy for the coming
year.
MONTHLY RENT AMOUNT CHANGE: A reminder to change your rent for January, whether it’s a check
you bring to the office, Rent Café our Pine Ridge South’s auto payment process, or on-line check from your
bank. However you pay the rent please remember to pay the correct revised amount.
Winter has started with Severe Coldness. Understanding many residents have dogs to walk, please be
careful, bundle up and remember you still need to pick up after them each time, even on your own lawn.
Heat tapes are very important during the winter season. One easy way to check if your heat tape is working
is when you turn your water on, for only a few seconds the water will be warm, then it instantly turns cold.
Thank you for a wonderful year and an even better one to follow! Management

Once again our beautiful community made judging very hard. So
many people decorated and the homes were all lovely. The
unseasonably warm weather had people decorating early , too, so
we all had more time to enjoy everyone’s hard work. This year
timeless, classic elegance prevailed and the winners were
surprised, gracious and ever so thankful. We thank you all for
making our community merry and bright!
