This organization has done so very much, for so many people, that it just kind of blows your mind. Anyone that has had the pleasure of working with or receiving services from this compassionate, spiritual institution is truly a better person. Granted they are usually in our lives during the most difficult, trying and emotional times we may ever experience. Due to their organization, empathy, services provided and just plain well run organization, these trying times can be managed and coped with, with grace, courage and compassion. If I had all the money in the World I could never repay them for their tireless efforts, preparedness, true concern, professionalism and just being there. I hear people in passing comment on their great experiences with Hospice, but when the life altering event has come to an end, it appears that they forget who sat and talked to them night after night or perhaps it is too painful to want to remember. I want to go on record as being forever grateful to the staff and volunteers of Hospice. And now I feel it is my time to pay it forward. They are always in need of volunteers, to do any variety of things to help others and their families face and conquer trying and final days with loved ones. Anything and everything that can be done to assist them in continuing to do a service, that is like no other, should be done. Trust me when I say, I hope you never need their services, but if you do, be calmer in knowing you have an agency at your side 24⁄7 that has the experience, wisdom and resources to help you during this most difficult and confusing time. This organization is 5* all the way and in every aspect of life and death that they address. We are all certainly better off knowing there is a service such as this available, if we should unfortunately have the need for them. Did you know they do a summer camp for any child of certain ages? They bring in pets to brighten ones day? Daily they call frail individuals who are alone, because the individual is fearful they will pass and won’t be found, for a period of time? They honor our veterans with a simple ceremony and pin a flag on them, just to thank them for their service? Did you know 1 in 4 deaths is a Veteran? These are one of the topics we as a society usually don’t discuss, but we all face more times than we would ever dream of in reality… it is part of life. What’s a girl to do? Always pay your debts and try to pay them forward.
