Family and Friend's Comments

This is only a small selection of comments, support letters, and notes that we have received.

"I can never thank Skagit Hospice for all of the kindness and the excellent care they gave my loved one during his terminal illness.  And the support and just being there for me and my special niece."

"We are very appreciative of the care you provided for our friend and for the support you provided for his wife. In her own words those people (at Skagit Hospice) were magic and helped me so much during this difficult time. Thank you for the wonderful service you provide and the blessing you are to those in need."

"Thank you so much for taking such good care of my wonderful friend. His family has spoken very highly of your staff."

"The family wants to thank you for all of your gentle care of our loved one. The enclosed check comes from my board of directors. My mother was blessed by your coordination of her final days."

"Thank you so much for all of the tender care that you gave to my dear husband in his last days. Words cannot express our gratitude. What a blessing you are to many people. To help your good work many friends and relatives gave in his memory."

"Thank you for your tender care, helping her on her journey to eternal life and helping us let our mother go."

"Thank you all for the wonderful care you provided for my dear friend. It was a great comfort for the family. Keep up the good work."

"I would like to thank all of the nurses, social workers, and bath aids for your loving care of my husband in his last days. You were all so loving and caring and helped me so much with your support. What a wonderful service you give to the people in our community. I didn’t know much about hospice, but now I would recommend you to others. We are thankful for your love and support. We know that he is with the Lord and will no longer have tests and doctors appointments. Thank you so much."

"Thank you all so much for helping our family. My wife was very quick when she passed and was not in pain. I’ve always appreciated hospice and never realized I would have to use them. They all were great to come and help her and all of us! I know it will take time to adjust after she has gone on. It was one day after our 55th anniversary. I told her it was no way to act on our 55th anniversary. I love her very much and so glad hospice could help at the end. Thank you."
 
"My sisters and I simply cannot thank you all enough for your devotion and dedication to my father's well being and to helping us through this extraordinary time.  You made it possible for him to stay at home and to pass away as he had wished - in comparative comfort, without pain, in dignity, and in peace.  How lucky we all were to have had him as our dad for so many years - 64 for me - and then to have him so happily receive your care, knowing you respected his dignity and his wishes."
 
"Please accept my heartfelt thanks for all of your kindness.  The service you provide is truly unbelievable in it's scope and professionalism.  The word 'Hospice' has taken on new meaning for me and will always bring bright thoughts to mind.  Each encounter, by phone and in person was a delight.  Our time with you was mercifully short, but will be remembered wtih love and gratitude."
 
"On behalf of my family and myself, I would like to express my deepest thanks and gratitude for the loving care that you provided to both my parents, most recently, my mom.  Your organization gave not only invaluable care, but it also gave her great comfort and peace of mind.  She was terribly concerned about being a burden to her family but wiht the help of Skagit Hospice, she received the best of care and was able to be at home where she needed to be.  The Hospice famly will always have our deepest appreciation."
