Our 12 Days of Christmas campaign, highlighting the work of East Lancashire Hospice continue and today we look at one family’s personal connection with the hospice
In October, Brenda Hoyle aged 77, passed away at East Lancashire Hospice having spent a number of weeks being cared for on the Inpatient Unit.
Brenda was a much loved wife to Sid and mother to Mark, Shaun and Gillian as well as grandmother to four granddaughters and throughout the time she spent at the hospice, Brenda’s family were by her side.
Gillian said: “You hear the staff at the hospice talk about the ‘hospice family’ and I honestly feel like I’m a part of this, I made so many special memories there with both mum and the staff and felt at ease with everyone and don’t think I could ever thank them enough.”
