TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Lewis,
I wanted to write you a more personal note on behalf of my wife and I...
I hope you know how much we appreciate you and the way you handled our last few hours with Jeb. He played such a huge part of our lives and lettign him go hurt, and still hurts, a lot. You were informative and professional, and at the same time, personal and comforting, that meant the world to us.
Jeb was our child. We do nto have a family of our own yet and we have no family in this area, Jeb filled that void. We didn't want to let him go, but we needed to for his sake. We know he is better now, no pain, no sickness, running in that big field in the sky...in the snow of course...he loved the snow...
Dr. Lewis, your commitment to our family was amazing. We wanted you there at the end, you have been there since the beginning. You are an amazing person with such a beautiful heart. Your compassion is unmatched by any other. We appreciate you standing by us in those final moments, even when it was hard for you.
My wife and I are healing....today was better than yesterday, tomorrow will be better than today....we are getting used to the little things that made Jeb part of us...no crate noise when we come into the house, no milk bone pieces all over the floor, no snuggle time in the mornings or late evenings, no trash helper (he loved to take out the trash), but most of all, no friend that is waiting there at all times to say hello...
As we take this "no-pet" time to heal and adjust, we will miss you and the staff at Healing Hands. There will come a day though when another 4-legged friend will enter our lives, we are undoubtedly coming to you. Thank you for everything...and I know Jeb would also say thank you too...
I just wanted to take a moment to thank each of you who make Healing Hands such a special place. Keffa spent a lot of time there and she never, ever minded walking through those doors. Thank you to the friendly office staff who are always so nice and patient every time I call. Thank you to all the techs who made Keffa feel special every single visit. Thank you so much Dr. Wolinski and Jackie and Courtney for your kindness and compassion for Keffa, my husband, and I during the difficult night we had to let her go. Thank you for helping to make her more comfortable and warm during her last hours. Dr. Lewis, I can't thank you enough for all the time you spent helping me sort out all her treatment and healthcare options, and referring us to really wonderful specialists. We helped her fight those tumors for a long time and she had many, many happy days despite all her surgeries. Even though her eyesight was diminishing and she had all those lumps, she spent a lot of time walking with me to the park, playing frisbee, romping around with her younger dog pals, and travelling. Oh and also handing with her kitty pals. She was a great pup and she truly seemed to enjoy visiting "the vet"- you all!
Also thank you so much Dr. Lewis for coming in to see us at her last visit. It was very helpful for us to see you. It really meant a lot.
