J ohn Biagi loved life to the fullest, always giving praise to others. “Life is such a gift, live and enjoy,” he would tell you. John was a valued Steel Electrician at LTV for 40 years, served with the US Army, 101st Paratroopers, and
was a member of ISDA Cesare Battisi Lodge. He was a stylish and simple man by nature; always a clean shave, wear-ing a matching baseball hat and polo shirt. John was married to his beloved late wife, Linda, for 32 years and was a proud father to his only child, Amanda. He held a very special bond with his grandson, Andy, and was the best birthday party planner according to his great-niece, Tiffany. John never wasted a minute and was either planning a vacation or enjoying a new restaurant, theater performance, music concert, movie, or taking in a ball game. He was an avid Cubs fan, never missing a game!
Over time, John developed congestive heart failure and became a dialysis patient. When he felt continuing invasive medical procedures was too debilitating, he made the decision to enter hospice care. As soon as the family arrived at the William J. Riley Memorial Residence, it became their home away from home. Away from the restrictions of the hospital ICU and with John’s social spirit stronger than ever, he requested a pizza party and the Cubs game. With his daughter Amanda consistently at his side, other family and friends were able to come and go freely, including the younger members of the family.
Amanda was extremely pleased with how welcomed and comforted Hospice of the Calumet Area staff and volunteers made them feel. “The experience was great. We were well educated on the process and they truly made us feel like family. The volunteers were always available if we needed something and, recognizing that we were a spiritual family, they even of-fered to pray with us.”
Feeling very much at home at the Riley Residence, Amanda made a special request to the staff, asking if they could help her plan an intimate

Hospice…Helping Families Create Unforgettable Moments
Message from the Executive Director...
O ctober 16 – 22 is Spiritual Care Week. It’s a time for us
to give special recognition to the Spiritual Counselors on our Hospice of the Calumet Area interdisciplinary team. Spirituality can be defined as our inner belief system. It helps indi-viduals search for the meaning and purpose of life, and it helps them to experience hope, love, inner peace, comfort and support. Most patients and families understand the role
and expertise of the Registered Nurse and Hospice Aide, but often do not know the value that the Spiritual Counselor can bring to their care.
Many use the terms spirituality and religion interchangeably. While there can be an overlap, not everyone is religious, nor is religion a requirement for spirituality. A person may not practice a religion, but may still have spiritual needs that should be met.
This year’s theme, Spiritual Resilience, represents our human ability to gain strength and revise a sense of purpose and meaning during life’s challenging times. Spiritual Coun-selors are specially trained to provide spiritual assessment and promote spiritual well-being through compassionate support. They are especially mindful of the ripple effect the hospice journey has on patients, as well as those around them. As part of the hospice team, Spiritual Counselors integrate care of the mind, body, and spirit for individuals of diverse cultural and spiritual backgrounds.
Spiritual Counselors leave their own faith beliefs at the doors of patients’ homes and meet the patients’ own spiritual needs. The spirit is nurtured in many ways which may include religion, prayer, music, art, life review, and simple compassionate presence. Their goal, like the goal of everyone at Hospice of the Calumet Area, is to enhance

wedding ceremony at the hospice house so her father could share in the celebration. With an absolute “yes” and 14 hours to plan, Amanda asked her father, “Do you want to be at my wedding?” Without hesitation, John’s final request to her was that she go home for his suit so he could be properly dressed for the occasion. Her fiancé’s family arranged for catered food from Teibel’s and a wedding cake while Amanda did some quick shopping with her cousins, choosing a beauti-ful lavender dress to wear.
With her father, 20 of their closest family and friends and hospice staff and volunteers present, Amanda married her best friend, John Fetsis, blending their families to include her son Andy and his son Ari. John passed the next day.
The Biagi-Fetsis family will always cherish their time at the Riley Residence, “We are truly grateful for the unforgettable moment given to us by Hospice of the Calumet Area, a time that we will always treasure, remembering how wonderfully we were treated, the bonds created and the excellent care my dad received.”

Creative Ways to Give! R ecently, Hospice of the Calumet Area Board Member
David Schneider purchased framed photography to hang in his home, and local dentist Dr. Rory Levitan purchased three photos to grace the walls of his newly renovated dental practice.

Joanne’s photos may be viewed and ordered through the website, Joanne-Markiewicz.artistwebsites.com.
Delta Theta Tau Sorority, Zeta Omega Chapter honors HCA
H ospice of the Calumet Area was one of the organizations recognized by the Delta Theta Tau Sorority, Zeta Omega Chapter
at the Sorority’s 10th Annual Purse Auction and Luncheon held on Sunday, August 14, at Innsbrook Country Club in Merrillville. The Zeta Omega Chapter based out of Highland has planned and executed various fundraisers over the years with the goal of supporting worthy organizations or families in need. At the event the Sorority presented Hospice of the Calumet Area with a contribution of $1,000 towards the support they provide to hospice patients and their families. “We think it is really important to contribute to this wonderful organization. One of our sorority sisters called upon Hospice of the Calumet Area to care for her mother. After her mother passed, she couldn’t say enough about
the care her mother received, as well as the phone calls and comfort she received from the organization as a loved one,” explains Sorority member Maria Diaz.

Leave a legacy through estate giving plans
I f you are thinking about how you can help ensure that Hospice of the Calumet Area has a secure future,
maintaining its programs and services for years to come, below are a variety of ways you can include HCA in your estate plans:
Wills Gift a percentage of estate assets or a specific sum of money to Hospice of the Calumet Area in your will.
Life Insurance Complete a “change of beneficiary form” for an existing policy. Transfer ownership of an existing policy or purchase a new policy and make Hospice of the Calumet Area the owner and irrevocable beneficiary.
Retirement Funds Complete a “change of beneficiary form” for your retirement fund naming Hospice of the Calumet Area as a partial or sole beneficiary.
Outright Gifts Gifts of cash or other assets, such as appreciated securi-ties, (any amount) can be contributed to support current or future need.
Cash gifts can also help build our Endowment Fund held at the Legacy Foundation.
We encourage you to discuss these issues with your own attorney or financial advisor. However, if you would like to discuss any of the above options with a repre-sentative from Hospice of the Calumet Area, please feel free to contact our Director of Development, Jenifer Vargo Okamura, at 219-922-2732 or jvargo@hospicecalumet.org.
