The following excerpts are taken from some of the many thank you letters that Covenant Hospice receives from patients, their families, and caregivers.
To whom it may concern:
I am enclosing a gift for the Tree of Lights in memory of my brother who died at your beautiful, compassionate residence in November 2008. I could never express the gratitude my family and I have for the beautiful and comfortable facility, the excellent care given to my brother, and the love and kindness shown to all of us. My family actually enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving dinner prepared by Volunteers! As a Covenant Hospice Volunteer, and a person who was served by this wonderful caregiving group during my husband's illness, I was already aware of the angels that take part in the caring for those who face death. Nevertheless, I was deeply touched by this experience. "Thank you" is so inadequate; my prayers are with you and your mission.

To all involved in Hospice:
A long time friend of mine just told me of his mother’s passing. She was cared for by some of your staff. Her son, Ron, told me he walked into his Mom’s room 2 days before she passed and her caretaker was combing her hair and singing to her. He was very touched by that and so am I. What a special talent and gift your employees have. God Bless you all for that extra care you share with our loved ones at our greatest time of need. Please accept my gift of a donation, in her name and I only hope it will help in some way to allow someone else to experience the loving care your staff provides to those who need TLC in their last days on this Earth. Thank you all,

Enclosed please find a check in memory of [our friend] who passed on recently. Your group helped him and his wife the last couple of weeks of his life. Your being there helped to make his last days bearable. His being able to be home made for peaceful days…The work your organization does is so important to those who need your services. Our own family has been touched by hospice.

The enclosed check is being sent in memory of our dear friend who died of pancreatic cancer earlier this year. We understand that his family appreciated the good hospice care given by the Niceville Covenant Hospice group…
