Fulfilling a patient wish




     A grandfather, Donnie, wanted to leave a gift for his grandson, River, and family. Our doctor, Dr. Lynne Nowak, and I took Tuesday, September 18th as an afternoon to fulfill Donnie's wish. The adventure began at a friend, Bruce's, hunting ground, where Hospice of Southern Illinois' team captured the moments of Donnie, Dal (his son), and River (his grandson) on film on a dove hunt for him to pass along his legacy as a caring, loving and warm-hearted grandfather who has a passion for hunting and family!
     Enjoy the video Hospice of Southern Illinois has put together for him and his family of the dove hunting adventure they took at Fly-Way Sporting Goods in East Carondelet, Illinois. "It is moments and opportunities like this one that bring us back to why we do what we do. I was honored and inspired to get to spend time with Donnie and his family on Tuesday," says Christine Juehne, Print and Social Media Coordinator at Hospice of Southern Illinois.
     Help us share, educate, and reach out by subscribing to our blog and suggesting it to friends who will spread our message: Hospice of Southern Illinois is here to teach you what hospice is, what we are about, and what we can do for you and your loved ones. No one has to go through the dying process alone. Hospice of Southern Illinois can help.

Live well, laugh often, and love much,
