Testimonials

Dear Renfrew Hospice Team and Volunteers

On behalf of my brothers and myself, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for the exceptional care you provided to our beloved aunt Lucie. Throughout our lives, Lucie has been a true pillar of support for our mother as well as for us, and even more so following our mom’s passing. Whether in times of joy or hardship, she never faltered in her devotion to us. She exemplified determination, perseverance, accomplishment, and loyalty, serving as a crucial role model for us. Her home was always open to us, and she kept us on our toes with tasks, surely a remnant of her Army background!

We are profoundly thankful for the compassion, patience, and kindness with which you cared for Lucie during her final chapter. Our sweet Luce, with a touch of spice:), found peace and serenity in your care. Your thoughtfulness in providing for our needs during visits also meant a lot to us.

Please accept our deepest appreciation and warmest hugs to all of you.

A, K and RB
