Every year, more than 2,000 people in southern Wisconsin, including 350 children, receive grief support from Agrace to help them cope with the loss of a loved one and work toward healthy survivorship.
This compassionate service is available to anyone who has experienced a loss due to death, even if the person who died was not an Agrace HospiceCare patient. Agrace does not receive any type of reimbursement from insurance for these services; instead, they are funded primarily by community donations.

After a great deal of consideration, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020, we have decided to cancel our yearly Feather Party/Bingo fundraiser normally held in November. In over 70 years of supporting this event this will be the first cancellation, we believe. Warm weather, rain, heavy snow, ice storms, blizzards in the past did not have the power to cancel this event.

David A. Tourdot, age 71 of rural Brooklyn, passed away at his home on Sunday, August 9, 2020. He was born on April 13, 1949, in Monroe, the son of Frank and Esther (Root) Tourdot.
David graduated from Belleville High School in 1968. He was a lifelong farmer and steward of the land. David enjoyed golfing, watching Nascar and football, traveling, and playing Euchre with friends. His family was his source of pride and joy.
