“Dear Hospice Austin,

My mother passed away at Christopher House. The round-the-clock care that she received from the kind, compassionate nurses was more than I could ever ask for. My mom was a kind, gentle, very sweet woman and you helped provide her with a place of comfort to pass on.

Thank you for allowing me to stay with her every night, and for answering all of my repetitive questions. Thank you for providing good food, music, and a peaceful and safe environment.

Thank you for the aftercare and the counseling, it helped bring me peace.

You make a difference every day that you go to work. You have inspired me. This world needs more people like you.”
