“My sincere thanks to all the Hospice Team that cared for my Dad. He was given the best care and treated with dignity and respect throughout his final days. Jane and Stephanie in particular were angels sent our way. Their kindness helped my Mom accept and prepare for my Dad’s passing. Thank you.”
Daughter of Harold W.

“Hospice Staff,
Just a note to thank your organization for providing such loving and compassionate care as our loved one faced his end of life issues. Everything always ran smoothly and we always knew whatever questions we had, the answer was always a phone call away. Please give special thanks to Jane, RN and CNA, Stephanie. These two women were not just professional, they were loving and compassionate to such an extreme degree. They were like loving family to my mother-in-law when we were unavailable. Jane prepared Mom for the inevitable and made her understand the entire process. We came to love her! She became a friend. Stephanie is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. She was truly loving. My father in law was in such caring hands. Thank you for your wonderful organization, but even bigger thanks for sending these two Angels our way.”
Daughter in law of Harold W.

Your compassion, care, concern and dedication improved her quality of life immeasurably.

She was a very fortunate woman to have such a wonderful team of caregivers to help her through her final days. With sincere thanks.”

“How can one describe a grateful heart? There is nothing I would change relating to the care and sincere concern that was extended to me. My beloved Father was at the threshold of glory and hospice lifted my every care and concern allowing me to totally enjoy my father’s final days on earth. I am confident of this very thing, that because of the work of the Cross (Christ’s payment for sin) that my father stands in the presence of our Beloved Savior. Hospice played a tremendous part in enabling me to rejoice. I thank God for you and the entire staff that touched my father’s life during this time. May God continue to use you for His Glory! With much appreciation and affection, Ruth B.”
