So sad, but I guess, given the choice, we’d all like the chance to say our goodbyes. Congratulations on a deserved win, Line. Terry

Absolutely heartbreaking Line, my father knew when he was going to die and told the staff at hospice and said goodbye to them ... but they didnt contact us until it was too late. hugs jan xx
