Phantom 2,552 Posted July 15, 2015 Cicely Saunders died ironically this day aged 87, 10 years ago. Who??? And what's ironic about it? She opened the first hospice and then died of cancer. I know Americans struggle with irony, So that would be like someone who opened the first funeral director service dying? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
