Currently using complimentary offices in the Waterloo Inn, the Hospice is looking for a permanent home.

Having lived in Waterloo since 1978, Lucille had a lot of contacts. impressed by her enthusiasm and humor. Now Lucille has taken on a major job. She has started the Hosâ€" pice of Waterloo Region. I asked Lucille to tell me about the Hospice. She began with the history of the hospice in Europe as a shelter and how it evolved as homes for the terminally ill. . § Lucille‘s Hospice will be a community based one. That means that local volunteers will go to the homes of people facing life threatenâ€" ing illnesses and lend a hand. Whether that‘s providing a break for the full time caregiver, teaching about pain control or other commuâ€" nity services, Hospice will be there. Let‘s face it. We‘re all getting older. Some of us are lucky to have family close by. Others, because of job transfers and lifestyle choices, are living in a community without our families.

It would have been nice to have Hospice around to give my friend a thank goodness Lucille is ready to stand up and say let‘s do it. I figured there had to be some background to spur Lucille on to pursue such a difficult road. She confessed that when her brotherâ€" in-hwdied,dxewusoin:ptusedwiflxfingqompassionandski}lof She studied nursing before settling down to raise a family and so Meet Lucille Mitchell.
