(((((( **Flowerchild** )))))))

Remember, hospice includes grief counseling. Take advantage of it. Now, before your father passes. And they will be there for a full eleven months after your father passes. Take advantage of it the, too. I am glad y’all chose hospice for him. I wish more people would.
