Family cares for husband and father at home celebrating 60 years of love

Having experienced the compassion of hospice care with family members and friends, Mike Everhart and his family knew that hospice care was exactly what they wanted when he was diagnosed with lung cancer in addition to the heart disease that already made it difficult for him to breathe. Mike entered hospice care in September 2017.

Hospice helped bring former Air Guard commander home

When Brigadier General V. Wayne “Speedy” Lloyd was diagnosed with a fast-growing brain tumor, he wanted to get back to his home among the West Virginia hills.

“I started my life here,” General Lloyd told his sister, Dottie Lorenz. “And I want to end it here.”

Dottie knew that she would need help bringing her brother home. She would need the support of Hospice of the Panhandle.
