Lorrha Notes
Gratitude.
North Tipp Hospice Home Care would like to thank Nancy White president and members of St. Ruadhan’s Active Retirement group for their most generous donation of €600 given to us at their Christmas party. We would also like to thank St. Ruadhan’s Church of Ireland Lorrha for their great donation of €180 raised at their carol service in the Church which was held in December ’09. These donations help us greatly to maintain the hospice home service we have in place for cancer patients and those who care for them in our area.
This hospice service is very much needed and we are most grateful for your help.
