Moments of Life made possible by Hospice
and a little dog…
By Janice Valentino as told by Marilyn Serino
It had been about six weeks that my brother Michael had been living
at the Kaplan Family Hospice Residence, where I too had been staying
for about three weeks.
It was mid-February when Mike began talk to me about a dog. I asked
if he was talking about his daughter’s dog, Delilah. He replied No. I
asked if he was referring to my own dog, Piper. Again, Mike told me No.
Mike mentioned the dog a few more times until he finally feel asleep
that afternoon. I had no idea what dog he was talking about and soon
forgot about it.
Later that day, I overheard staff members talking about a little dog
that was sleeping under the bushes on the grounds of the residence.
Apparently, this little dog was either lost or abandoned and had been
seeking refuge from the cold on the property. Being the dog lover
that I am, I rescued the little visitor who was badly in need of some
TLC, brought her home to be bathed, fed and took her to our vet to be
checked out. I was thrilled when she received a clean bill of health.
When I returned to Kaplan to be with my brother Mike, I was grateful
to be able to bring along my new little friend. When I walked into Mike’s
room, his first response was “Oh wow, Crash is here”. Crash had been
our brother Gary’s little dog. Three years before, Gary had also been at
Kaplan. Shortly after Gary passed away, so did Crash. Mike was right,
this little dog did resemble Crash.
I took this as a sign that Mike and I were not alone and our brother
Gary, and Crash were watching out for us. This little dog, who we
named “Mikey” soon found her way on Mike’s bed and nestled up to
him as if she knew it was where she always belonged.
I believe this little dog was meant to become a part of our family. I am
grateful for her and the joy she brought my brother Mike at the end of
his life. The memories of the wonderful moments that were shared
at the Kaplan Family Hospice Residence with my brother Mike and
“Mikey” will always be treasured.

flowers.
Guest speakers, Sandi Cassese, the new

Janice Valentino, Director of Marketing

who receive this specialized care.
After a wonderful buffet, Colleen Fogarty, Faith Ferguson, Dan Grady and Barbara Naru
a FOH board member, demonstrated
flower arranging to the close to fifty

received an opportunity to experience a
little “spring time” by creating their own
floral arrangements, most of which were
donated to the Kaplan Family Hospice

An elegant auction of items that lifted
away the winter doldrums were enjoyed
by all who participated and especially
those who went home with their treasures.

Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties, Inc.
is in its 30th year of bringing compassionate
physical emotional and spiritual end of life
care with comfort, dignity and respect. But
many times we are asked from our community
members…
When should I call Hospice?
Hundreds of times each year, patients and families tell us: “We wish we called hospice sooner.”
Patients and families can benefit most from hospice care when they seek support earlier rather
than in a crisis.

Pearl Gala a Lustrous Success
Honoring Staff & Volunteers
Long awaited springtime finally came on March 24, 2018 at Anthony’s Pier 9.
The beautiful pearl themed decor convinced even the skeptic that spring had
finally arrived. The flowers, strands of pearls and driftwood that adorned the
tables made everyone forget the threat of another nor’easter.
The 30th Anniversary Pearl Gala was an evening of celebration of all who helped
the organization to reach this amazing milestone. Staff, volunteers, and board
members were recognized for their years of support and selfless dedication to
patients and families cared for each and every day.
Our auction donors, sponsors, and almost 300 guests were responsible for the
success of our Pearl Gala which netted more than $105,000 for the organization.
Co-Chairs of the Gala Committee, Joann Menendez and Lauren Ostner were thanked for their hard work along
with committee members, Adrianna Andrade, Gianna Franco, Linda Goldstein, Rachelle Klugman and Taylor
Raimondo.
