HospiceCare in The Berkshires helps grant wish of Hillcrest Commons resident

Hillcrest Commons resident, Marguerite Sherman, had her wish come true this 4th of July. Together with County Ambulance, Hillcrest Commons, local police and many others, HospiceCare in The Berkshires made it possible for Marguerite to attend the Pittsfield July 4th parade.

Unfortunately, Marguerite passed away a couple days later, but it was an honor to make her dream a reality.

Enjoy this article from the Berkshire Eagle to discover why the parade was so special to our dear friend Marguerite.
