Excerpts from letter written by Judy Roberts

"My first real knowledge of Hospice of Hope came when I was taking care of my mother who suffered from Alzheimer's Disease. With virtually no help from family members, I turned to the medical community for help. Hospice of Hope came into my home the last few months of her life and what a blessing it was. They were there for me 24/7 if needed. Hospice of Hope had someone there to help me through the last hours that were both painful to me and to my mother. I can never thank these people enough for everything they did for me and for my mother!"
