It was great to see the Dave Mah story in the Citizen.
Years ago, when Hospice House began, Dave ensured that people were educated about hospice care. Without his efforts, hospice would not have survived as Quesnel had the first hospice house in the province and people were afraid to be admitted or even visit someone. This insight and knowledge were instrumental in our survival and therefore the result that nurses from all over the province came to Quesnel (stayed in my home) and learned about end-of-life care.
This led to hospice house being established all over the province (eventually the country).
David and I established a great rapport and respect for each other.
I am happy to see the unveiling of the benches in his honour.
