Family House Newsletter

We were made very welcome and so happy to have a place to stay. It is a beautiful home and have told many of our friends about it. Family House is safe and we felt closer to home, especially when you’re a senior citizen and alone. The Family of W.R.

You have all been so very nice to me throughout my stay. If ever I have to come back, this is the house I will come to.
Thank you so much. D. B.

Words cannot express how much your program meant to me. Thank you, Thank you for believing that a Family House is needed. Thank you for your time and efforts, and lastly Thank you for your hearts which showed concern, compassion and friendship.

Sincerely, T. L.

Thank you so much for a place like this to stay in. Your concern and kindness has been appreciated very much. I’m beginning to feel at home here! I’m not here much now, I had to start back to work, but I have told many about the house

Thanks again for everything. M. & E. R.

Thanks for providing a comfortable home to stay during my husband’s recent quadruple by-pass surgery at St. Francis. We have fond memories of our visit. Your staff eased our fears of the surgery. God bless you in your continued ministry of serving those in time of need. Best wishes as you begin the road of obtaining a new Family House if that be the case. We loved the old house and richness of architecture. Thank you. The Family of S. S.

Thanks to all at the Family House! You made me feel so safe while my husband was at St. Francis on the cardiac floor.
The home was a God sent to me as I am from a small town of 3500. I so appreciated the shuttle taking me back and forth and the home was so beautiful with all the ornate woodwork. My father was a contractor building homes and I always admired the architecture of these old homes.
If I ever need a place to stay again it will be at the Family House. Thanks again for a pleasant stay. Sincerely, E. F. S.

We appreciated the Family House so much. After our daughter’s accident, we hadn’t slept for over 24 hours, so your house was a God send!
We found the Family House to be such a comforting homelike place after our daughter was injured in a car accident and had to be in St. Francis. it gave us a place we could go to and rest and still be close by. Thank you again for the hospitality and God bless you.
Thank you! R. D. & B. C.
