Team Cindy and Traditions at Walk for Hospice

Posted on August 2, 2018 by Bruce Billingham in Donors, Volunteers, Walk for Hospice

My family and I became associated with Care Dimensions in 2006, when my wife, Cynthia Spearing Billingham, was admitted to the Kaplan Family Hospice House for end-of-life care.

I felt that one of the best ways that we could remember Cindy and keep her spirit alive was to participate in the Walk for Hospice, so our children, Dayna and Chase, helped me form Team Cindy that fall. For each year thereafter, Team Cindy has been a supporting force for Care Dimensions. ...

After a 20-year battle with breast cancer, Lorraine took a good friend’s advice and sought hospice services through Care Dimensions.

Care Dimensions made Lorraine’s desire to stay home possible, and for that I am extremely grateful. They were always available to answer my questions, even on nights and weekends.Our whole family was embraced by Care Dimensions - from the compassionate care they provided to Lorraine to the bereavement support offered after her passing. ...

An Art Project with Hospice in Memory of My Father

Posted on April 4, 2016 by Meg Black in Donors

As an artist, I am inspired by nature. When considering nature, I do not try to copy the natural world as I see it but, rather, as I feel it. Moved by the natural light and organic shapes I observe in the places I visit seeking inspiration, I try to capture in my work the essence and mood of the place as well as to formulate a graphic interpretation of what I see. ...
