“Every day there are people whose work is to help others, who just like Angela, fought bravely through it all. Her last wish was to be in the hospice. The care and support was so much appreciated, however many more will need the hospice services.

“So, with every single donation raised, it will help to ensure that our loved ones are cared for and have the guidance and support when they need it most. Much loved and missed, never far from our hearts.”
