Letter to St Columba's Hospice

" My late husband Douglas (Dan ) Macfarlane spent some time in St Columba’s before his death on 29th January, 06. He was an exceptional man who touched many lives in a positive way. At the Celebration of his life friends gave generously to a retiring collection in your name. The accumulated sum of £1461. oo is enclosed as personal cheques in the hope that in this form it qualifies as Gift Aid. Please let me know if there is any further steps that can be taken to assist this.
It is difficult to express the depth of our appreciation at the care we both received . Four months of intrusive cancer treatments had placed us in a state of constant anxiety and diminishing dignity. We could not have predicted the change it would make to us when we crossed the threshold into the Hospice.
The ethos of care and compassion was quietly inspirational. It encompassed us in a blanket of trust and security that cushioned the soul. Even now, current grief it is made easier by the sense of stillness and calm you restored to our lives for that short while. We had the privilege enjoy precious moments in the company of dedicated sharing staff.
A simple thank-you hardly seems enough but it is profoundly heartfelt."

Additional thanks are due to those of you who have donated on-line or directly to the Hospice on our behalf.
