Jim Kiley was very knowledgeable and informative during our visit. We prepaid our cremation expenses and felt a huge sense of relief that it was one more item ticked off our "final arrangements list". We also appreciate the fact that this is a local family owned business that carefully considers each of their clients needs/wants and does the best they can to fulfill each request.

Jim Kiley was very professional and personal. He explained everything very well. My husband and I both feel a lot better having a plan in place before something happens. It's comforting to know that either one of us, when something happens, all we have to do is pick up the phone and call them they will take over during such an emotional stressful time.

Our family has had Davis Seawinds services for several family members through the years. We had excellent attention given to our personal needs, staff was professional & respectful.

We give Davis-Seawinds our HIGHEST recommendation and rating. 5 stars. Great price for the beautiful facility and professional staff. Justin went out of his way to help us play a DVD of My moms pictures on a TV, kudos to him.. I wish they were in my hometown, but for Florida, this hits the mark. We were the "demanding & very particular family, some might say difficult", but Davis-Seawinds far exceeded our expectations in every way..

Grateful to be there...

Aunt Ruth's local helper and friend, Linda, sent me a text on Sunday night, November 5th, to let me know Aunt Ruth was in Hospice and had wanted me to know she was close to passing.

I arrived at her Hospice room in Florida at 8:15pm on Monday night, November 6th, in time to spend about 7 uninterrupted hours with her. She looked so healthy, sleeping peacefully. Beautiful skin, hair... just a beautiful person inside and out. The timing of her breaths slowed down from about six a minute to one a minute. I had to leave her room to go outside and get some air.

Sitting in my vehicle in the parking lot, at about 4:36AM on Tuesday the 7th, a text came through from Linda, "Hospice called, Ruthie's gone to God."

My Aunt Ruth went the same way my Momma did -- on her terms, and her timing. She invoked her DNR, stopped eating, went into Hospice, and peacefully began her Journey into the Next Life.

I tell you this so that whomever reads about Mary Ruth's death will know that she went out as gracefully and elegantly as she went about her life.

I miss her, and I cannot help but be in awe of the women in my family lineage who came before: strong-willed, graceful, beautiful. My grandmom, mom, her.... Love you, Aunt Mary Ruth!
