I am so sincerely saddened by your loss. I'd like to thank Mr. Rogers and his family for establishing the hospice where both of my parents were cared for by loving staff until they passed.
In my most desperate time of need, the dedicated staff did all they could to help me cope with the inevitable; and treated my father, and later my mother, with the utmost respect and dignity.
To leave a legacy of peace and love for others is an accomplishment for which we should all strive. I thank you and your father and hope you find peace in knowing his hospice will continue to provide comfort to so many fragile families.

So sorry to see Justin pass. Our condolences to Jane and his family. He was a kind and gentle man. Always willing to help. Modest and guiding. Always present but never seeking reward. A remarkable man. He will be missed.
