Relatives say it from the heart - "Her last few weeks were spent in the local Duchess of Kent House Hospice, where she received outstanding care and attention above and beyond anything we could possible have expected. During her time in the hospice, the family felt they benefitted from facilities which could only be provided because of time and effort which others had previously put into raising money for the hospice. Now we want to raise enough money to pass that same comfort and warmth on to someone else".
