(There is also a very touching story of an older woman who was staying there with less then a week to live. Her husband visited her and they both went onto a patio that backs up to every room. A half an hour later an attendant found both of them sitting at the table outside, holding hands, and dead. She died, and he died minutes later.)
That is an amazing story. The people who work for hospice, whether they be nuns or whatever, are very special people. I have a deeper respect and admiration for those who work in the medical profession. Sure, there are some who are they for a paycheck, but, by and large, medical personel are as close to saints without actually being saints. And, IMO, many are. Thanks, Bro. for sharing that story. It has left an indelible image in my mind.
