Dear Maria,

Before time slips away as it seems to do these days, I want to formally acknowledge all the great staff members of the Fitch Home. Since March 2018 Polly and Mary have been well cared for by a professional and compassionate team of great people. It has been great comfort to know that my aunts have been safe and happy.
During the last few weeks it has been especially evident that each Fitch Home worker is in a field he/she loves. Staff went above and beyond to support the sisters and family. A sad experience was made quite beautiful.
Mary often wore to family parties a special pendant ~
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." Helen Keller
Thank you for taking the sisters into the Fitch Home - and heart!

We Look Forward to Welcoming You to Our Home!
