His Wesley Wish Came True

Harris VanKooten, 90, was a U.S. Air Force veteran who had been scheduled to take a Freedom Flight with his son, but a transition to hospice services rendered him unable to participate. Family members said missing the flight was a great disappointment to him.

As part of the "Wesley Wishes" program, WesleyLife Hospice team members arranged for a private pilot to take Mr. VanKooten for a helicopter ride of his own. Preceding the event, he received an Air Force certificate and pin in a small ceremony to thank him for his service.

“Everyone from WesleyLife Hospice helped our aunt feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. Not only did they support and care for Maxine, but they comforted family members as well. You are angels.”

Betty & Jeff Anderson

“Mom was ready to go. I knew she wouldn't have wanted to suffer, and WesleyLife Hospice made the process comfortable and as pleasant for her and for all of us as possible. In the end, Mom was at peace.”

Donna S.

Daughter of Mary Ann S., a WesleyLife Hospice client

“We were so afraid of asking about hospice. Once we did, we wondered what had taken us so long. Mom is more relaxed, and she has more good days.”

“The Hospice team provides excellent training, support, and feedback that lets me know my service is valued. As a bereavement volunteer I routinely hear about the superior care and compassion families feel they and their loved ones receive from WesleyLife Hospice staff. I am proud to be part of such a committed organization.”

“My mama was blessed to have WesleyLife Hospice take care of her in her final days. They made it possible for her to pass in her own home. The compassion and care was outstanding. From the bottom of my heart I will always be thankful they were a part of our lives. I would highly recommend this wonderful organization to family and friends.”

Ronnie Vitiritto

“Our family is so grateful to have had WesleyLife Hospice care for both of our parents about a year apart from one another. The comfort measures provided to our parents and the communication and support to my family was invaluable. While death of a parent is never easy knowing each was wrapped in comfort eased our pain. Thank you to all those who cared for our entire family.”

Mary O'Brien

“They took care of my mom through her illness and passing. Gentle, caring, and supportive, as well as knowledgeable and professional. So grateful for how they helped our family.”
