Testimonials

My 3 Angels,
Today is Monday and I am asking my son to help draft me a letter which will be sent after I am gone. As a client/patient of TLC I wanted to share some of my thoughts on your service. It seems like it was yesterday that my son and I and my oldest granddaughter sat in the emergency room and heard my diagnosis; I have Lung Cancer which has metastasized to the spine and it is inoperable and I have weeks if months left. Almost immediately we were contacted by your offices and so would start our relationship.
Initially we met at the house with a young lady named Kate I believe. She was very respectful, patient and caring. She did not make me feel rushed nor unwanted as so many young people do to older folks like me. My first angel Karen G. and one of the most important ones as my nurse she would help guide me on my final journey through good times and in bad. Karen never made me do anything I didn’t want to and sometimes did nothing more than hug me or hold my hand. That first day was a hectic day and I was lucky it didn’t kill me, it seemed to move so fast before I knew it I had a room full of hospital furniture, medicine and now a regime that I would follow until my passing.
This first day was a busy one and scary for me it just seems like everything was happening so fast. I would meet my second angel Laura B. who in the midst of the day, helped to clean me for the first time in a long time bathed and pampered like a million dollars. Laura would become an integral part to my well being even under circumstances not only did she clean me but she became my friends, my confidant, she listened and genuinely seemed to care about me, never rushed always gentle.
My last angel I feared the most, Amy Y. I feared what she represented – My Life in its entirety. Amy helped me to deal with my regrets, my fears and my emotions in fact she helped me more than she will ever know. Today I wanted to put into writing what I wanted to say because some changes are coming I can feel it and I don’t know how much longer I have. You need to know that these 3 Angels were the 3 that I had seen but it was also Carmella and Gina who called and checked in on me on the weekends too. Yes it was even the equipment guy who I hated in the beginning. All of you made me feel like I was important and cared for.
I will never be able to tell Karen just how much she has done for me and my son. She was more than just a nurse she actually became a part of our family. Laura I will miss due in part to our friendship we had a lot in common and I truly loved the time I spent with her as she cleaned up my “flower.” In the end Amy allowed me to scream and shout and to recognize my place in all of this and tried to make sense of it all. You met me at the end of my life and you gave me so much. Thank You! I have asked my son to mail this after I am gone to let you know how much I enjoyed our time together.
Sincerely Yours,
Carol E.

Dear Gina, Judy, Elena and All Others-
We want to thank you for all your support and love you gave to our Dad during his final days of life. You were so instrumental in helping us to fulfill his wishes of dying at home surrounded by friends and family. We all grieve our tremendous loss, but we’re also happy that he’s finally together with our Mom. One of our Father’s wishes was that TLC Hospice be designated for donations. Thank you again.

 Attn: Brenda,
Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate the loving care you gave to Bill during the brief time you were his nurse. The message you wrote on the Star website touched me deeply. I believe that the time you spent with him and with me was very special and I’ll never forget it. Thanks so very much.
