Clarence was part of a volunteer team made up of 250 individuals who, every year, give their time to help the residence. This collective effort represents close to 20,000 hours of work and ten full-time positions.

“Clarence walked into my office at the West Island Palliative Care Residence,” said co-founder Teresa Dellar in a press release, “He said simply that he wanted to help. For the next 12 years he was by my side helping, in whatever manner he could. Clarence took care of others. He was incredibly kind, patient and understanding. He was everyone’s angel at the Residence. An angel on earth and now an angel in heaven who watches over us.”

Donors can remember and honour a special angel by purchasing a personalized Christmas ornament; $100 for a standard personalized ornament, while a $250 will get you a Crystal ornament, personalized with an engraving of your choice.
