Night-time visitors will now have an easy time locating us from the road and a safer parking lot thanks to General Motors, UAW Local 602 and the family of Carl & Marya Barrett.

General Motors donated $5,000.00 which allowed us to place 2 lights in our parking lot and a new lighted "Hospice" sign at the road.

The growth of the Hospice House has been quite a surprise for us. "Who would have dreamed we would have so many visitors!" exclaimed Margaret Kyser, Executive Director.

With the inclusion of a Thrift Store open to the public 3 days a week, extra parking spaces were added after the Hospice House was completed. The driveway was widened and parking spaces were made along the driveway which extends 450 feet from the road to the Hospice House - which made lighting a necessity.

Thank you General Motors, our friends at UAW Local 602 and the Sederlund, Berry and Barrett families for supporting our organization!

Update: November 11, 2007

Thanks to Mike Burley of Eaton Rapids, our Hospice sign is now complete. This lighted sign, donated by the Rev. Carl and Marya Barrett family, received the finishing touch when Mike volunteered to lay the brick around it. The concrete work was donated by Jim Rogers of Jet Concrete and Betty Briggs of Gale Briggs Concrete.
