MORE THAN 50 PEOPLE throughout Chaffee County volunteer for Angel of Shavano Hospice. Working in conjunction with hospice doctors, nurses, social workers and therapists, these trained men and women visit dying patients to talk or not talk, to stroke a forehead or massage hands, to run errands, to clean house, and almost always to provide the caregiver with a much-needed break.
