Back in 1997 I lost my father suddenly to Cancer, during the last few weeks of his illness, the care and support both he and my family received from the Hospice was exceptional. My dad was allowed to die with dignity and was cared for with his family till the end. Then in 2001 my Mum was also diagnosed with Cancer and again at the end, the Hospice cared for her and our family through the last few weeks of her life. I will be forever grateful for the way the Hospice took care of my parents and have supported them for the last 27 years!
