Lifetree Cafe: "Facing a Terminal Illness: Insight’s From a Dying Man"

Observations and lessons learned from a terminally ill man will be discussed at Lifetree Café on 611 Clark Ave, Thursday @ 7-8 PM.

The program, titled “Facing a Terminal Illness: Insight’s From a Dying Man,” features a filmed interview with Richie Bertoletti—a cancer patient who chronicled his last days through artwork and dramatic storytelling.

“Right now, my life is still precious. It’s precious simply because I love people,” said Bertoletti. “After I go, if someone mentions my name and they have a smile on their face, that’s my immortality.”

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located 611 Clark Ave.
