*Good morning, all,*

* *

*Cousin Timmy Balsamo is indeed in hospice at this time.  He is very 
tired, and, although he is gracious when called, it's probably best to 
send any thoughts and greetings via the mail:  Hospice of Western 
Reserve, 300 East 185th Street, Cleveland, Ohio, 44119.*

* *

*He has been subject for some time to Multiple Myeloma, a bone marrow 
issue.  Most people would be easily beaten, but his indomitable spirit 
has permitted him to continue his joyous lifestyle.  What a blessing and 
inspiration he is to all who know him!*

* *

*Timmy loves people, particularly family, and the entire Termini 
community is family to him.  He covets your prayers, and loves to 
receive cards letting him know that he is being thought of, and prayed for.*

* *

*Your love and concern for Timmy is appreciated beyond measure by him 
and his family.*

* *

*Charlie LaNasa*

*(Seattle)*

*Tim is in the hospital.*

* *

*HE NEEDS OUR PRAYERS.*

* *

*Just spoke to his cousin  Ginger Capuano and things do not look good.*

* *

* Everything has been set for the reunion the last week of September. 
Tim has delegated  his cousins to go on  with the reunion plans. *

*Hospice is a philosophy of care. The hospice philosophy or viewpoint 
accepts death as the final stage of life. The goal of hospice is to 
enable patients to continue an alert, pain-free life and to manage other 
symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality, 
surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice affirms life and does not hasten 
or postpone death. Hospice care treats the person rather than the 
disease; it focuses on quality rather than length of life. It provides 
family-centered care and involves the patient and the family in making 
decisions. Care is provided for the patient and family 24 hours a day, 7 
days a week. Hospice care is given in a hospital. *

* *

* *

*Hospice care is suitable when you no longer benefit from cancer 
treatment and you are expected to live 6 months or less. Hospice gives 
you palliative care, which is treatment to help relieve cancer-related 
symptoms, but not cure the disease; its main purpose is to improve your 
quality of life. *

* Your doctor decide together when hospice care should begin. *
