I used to take Orange Rolls to families when I was a Hospice Nurse. There's just something about a homemade Orange Roll that is comforting. Once I took four dozen to the hospital when the patient was in ICU (later came out so family could be with him. He passed away next day). I told the sons to take the ICU staff 2 dozen of the rolls..a little "give my daddy special care token". The staff was thrilled and so was the family to have the tasty orange rolls. It's a nice thing to take to a friend having a tough time and just say "Turn on the coffee pot".
