    Rich, so moving to see the huge distance you and Clare hiked, in support of Farleigh Hospice. It’s a memory for you both - Dad and daughter time is so special. Clare really takes after you, with her beautiful smile. Julie was a beautiful woman, and so is Fran. You’ve been blessed with the women in your life, but I think you’re a special man, too! Have a great summer!

    My Mum was in am amazing hospice unit the last three weeks of her life and the staff and the women’s auxiliary treated Mum and us so well. We got to sleep in recliners in her room and were there for all of us day and night. The families were very supportive of each other as well, often bringing meals and treats to share. If anyone in your life needs long term in hospital care, or end of life care and hospice is available be sure to accept. In the meantime donations will surely help . Well done getting the rough walk done. 👍🏻

    • @paulbennett4548
      @paulbennett4548 3 роки тому

      I must agree with you. Our exposure to the Hospice end of life care was with our beloved first born daughter at the Rowcroft Hospice Torquay. The wonderful staff and volunteers and the other family's there helped us through that hart breaking time. I recommend we all support as we can.

    I know from personal experience the loss when a much loved partner passes away. Sadly, I have now lost two wives to serious illness. You never stop loving those dear ones, and I could see the raw emotion in your faces when Clare was talking about why you were doing the challenge. My heart and tears went out to you both. Well done for completing it, and in support of such a worthy cause. Much respect.
