The McClure Miller Respite House in Colchester feels like a home away from home. Its fireplace, open kitchen and thoughtfully designed rooms make the 21-bed inpatient hospice facility feel cozy. Its staff and community volunteers — more than 300 of them — provide meals and round-the-clock care, including emotional and spiritual support for residents and their families. At the end of September, those residents included Respite House namesake Harlaine Dudley "Holly" Miller. Holly died there, in the house she helped build, on September 20, surrounded by her family, including her daughter, Erika Montgomery. (Paid Post)
