We love hearing from family and friends.

To the remarkable staff of Serenity Hospice and Home,
The family of [our loved one] would like to express their sincere appreciation for the loving and compassionate care and attention given to our mom these past few years. She thought so highly of all of you and enjoyed your visits. After Mom’s passing, the early morning visit of your nurse was especially touching. The final cleansing ritual was not one we anticipated, yet it was so very moving and carried out with sensitivity and dignity. Enclosed, please find a memorial contribution to your amazing and vital organization. Thank you.

On behalf of my family, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for the incredible care, kindness, and compassion you showed my mother during her time with you. Your dedication and warmth provided not only comfort to her but also peace of mind to our entire family during such a difficult time. It takes a special kind of team to do the work that you do, and we are forever grateful for the patience, support, and dignity you provided in her final days. Your kindness and compassion did not go unnoticed, and we will always remember the gentle and loving way you cared for her. As a small token of our appreciation, we’ve put together a basket for you all to share. Inside, you’ll find custom made pens, thank-you keychains, chocolate, and bags of oatmeal cookies-her favorite treat. We hope these bring a little joy to each of you, just as you brought comfort and kindness to her and our family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you do. The work you do is truly a gift, and we will always be grateful. With sincere appreciation.

Dear Diane (Serenity RN),
I wanted to make sure you knew how very grateful I am for the tender and comforting care you gave my aunt. Hospice was a four-letter word to her having recently watched her sister and a beloved friend pass away quickly after entering hospice. … I want you to know, too, how much I valued your support as well. To be able to talk honestly and have you level with me about your observations of my aunt’s health illuminated the path on this map-less journey and helped guide my next steps. You are an angel on earth!
Thank you!!!
-R.
