“Mom’s final years with COPD were such a terrible trial, but these hospice angels came into her life and gave her dignity, care, and respect. In addition, they made her, and my family, feel surrounded by love. Mom was finally able to find peace and comfort. They treated her like family, and they made me feel like I was as much a focus of their care as she was.” – Marcia M.
