WELCOME TO TARA WOODS, Mary Kivel

THANK YOU TO OUR TARA WOODS FAMILY!

We lost our son, Kevin on April 23rd. He gave it a good fight but lost to cancer. He lived with us eight years. He was supposed to be our caregiver in our old age – not the other way around. He would have turned sixty-one on July 7th. He was our “Harley Guy” and our “Mr. Fix-it”. He never complained of his treatments which continued for almost an entire year, or his horrific pain he’d have. Our neighbors never knew he was in so much pain. He’d just smile and wave to them. His wish was to die at home in his own bed. God heard his prayers and called his name. He was gone within twenty-four hours of Hospice coming to the house to evaluate him. Instead of 1:00 PM Thursday, April 23rd, going to Hospice, at 1:00 PM The National Cremation Company came and took him from his room. He is in no more pain.

Everyone was so thoughtful, loving and kind to us in our shocking time of loss. We are blessed to have Tara Woods for our family!

God Bless! Love You,

Carolyn and Lloyd Kelsey
