The last few weeks were very hard and trying for our family, and to be honest I don’t know if we would have done it without the care and support of you all.  To see you devote your days off to be with us really comforted the chaos, and years from now when we look back on this time you will be there like angels helping us through.  Thank you so very much!

You were a God send to our family and we can not express how much it meant to us.  You were all so kind to our Dad and your caring hearts helped all of us through this stressful time.  You helped Dad die with dignity.

Now we know why so many praise the talents and concern of the hospice care givers.  The professional, yet loving care shown our Mom was exceptional from her initial interview to when she took her last breath.

I can’t begin to tell you how much your care and visits meant to both Mom and Dad in the last days of their lives.  They looked forward to each visit and enjoyed them all.  Also, without your help I know that I couldn’t have care for them at home, so your help meant a great deal to me also.

We would like to thank all of you for the love and compassion you shared with Dad and our family his last days.  We feel blessed that each of you were there for him and for us.  It’s comforting to know that Dad’s suffering was minimal.  You are all angels in our hearts!

We have worked in collaboration with the three other hospice programs in the area and because of your responsiveness in a timely manner, and because you work well with our caregivers, I don’t hesitate to recommend your program.  I know what families ought to expect and your program is doing what is should.

Thank you for giving my husband such wonderful care.  Without your help I would not have been able to keep him at home where he so wanted to be.  You will never know how many days you got me through.  Your hugs and kind words helped me one day at a time.  May God bless each and every one of you for the great work that you do.
