The program, titled \u201cFacing a Terminal Illness: Insight\u2019s From a Dying Man,\u201d features a filmed interview with Richie Bertoletti – a cancer patient who chronicled his last days through artwork and dramatic storytelling.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, my life is still precious. It\u2019s precious simply because I love people,\u201d said Bertoletti. \u201cAfter I go, if someone mentions my name and they have a smile on their face, that\u2019s my immortality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Caf\u00e9 is located at The Bachwell Center, 116 N. Washington Street, Van Wert, OH. Please park behind the courthouse and enter on Court Street.<\/p>\n
