Recently, one very special couple, the Brandons, experienced a remarkable side of hospice when they received the memory of a lifetime thanks to health care workers. Unfortunately, in the days leading up to airing the story you’re about to see, Mr. Brandon passed away. but his wife, Cynthia, wants you to see how amazing her husband’s hospice team was.
