Sonia Pedulla shares why hospice and palliative care is so important to our community and why raising money in her mom’s name has meant so much.

“On behalf of the Pedulla family we would like to thank everyone for their generous donations in memorial of Sylvia. Sylvia was a loving wife, mother and grandmother (Nonna). She was a kind, caring and a giving woman. Her house was always open to all and always filled with family and friends. This cause meant a lot to her as not many families are as fortunate as her to have been at home and in close proximity to all her loved ones. We are so grateful to have raised this money so we can help palliative patients be as close to their families as Sylvia was to hers. Having a hospice in town gives these patients the palliative care they need and still be with their loved ones . Sylvia always did what she could to help our community, she was a very special lady, she was touched by many and loved by all. By raising this money as one last thing in her honour would have meant the world to her. “ – Sonia Pedulla
