What a wonderful 'feeling' group. And having had personal need of their individual expertise -young people- also young, so feeling, so gentle and truly concerned is what I experienced. Plus the volunteer services. All these people and the Hospice organization are to be awarded every kind of a thank you which seems just too small. Two words can never cover it all. To bad more don't know of the multitude of services Hospice provides. I certainly know, and my ever lasting thanks to all that are connected with Hospice.' Rose Fasanella.
