NORTH SHORE HOSPICE CAMPAIGN
The final chapter of life began at age 48 for Roger, when he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. He lived in England where the modern hospice movement began in the 1960s, so he was able to utilize hospice services in their maturity. As his illness progressed, his older sister Marilyn, who lives on the North Shore, left her home to help care for him in his home. She quickly came in contact with Roger's local hospice, which she recalls offered an incredible service at a very difficult time.
