To all the wonderful, caring folks with Hospice of the west, What a beautiful memorial tribute to all who lost family members. Son, Michael and myself were so touched and impressed with everyone we met at the tribute and all the wonderful speakers. The setting was so impressive, as was the music, bill of fare, etc. Special thank you for the trees planted by the Arbor Way Foundation. For the caring and support from Rhea and Nurse Paula, I will always hold them close to my heart.

I can’t find the words to express how much you meant to me at this time. You always seemed to be here whenever I needed it. Each and every one of you will be remembered for your kindness, support and expert care. You are welcome here anytime. Thank you for making this difficult time achievable.

This is such a difficult time in a person's life - both the one who is dying and those who love them. You have eased this difficult time and I will never forget what all of you have done and have meant to us.

It is with great love, admiration and gratitude that I am sending this letter to all of you. I want to add my personal thanks to every doctor, nurse, CNA, the staff who answered my calls, and anyone else who came in contact with us. Your care, gentleness, kindness, and above all, your love and respect did not go unnoticed by her family, especially me.
