  • Thank you, Renee & Ken.

    We’re going to miss all of you, too. This move is truly bittersweet.

    Through our research and conversations with many seniors, we discovered a common pattern: many wait too long to leave their homes. Then, after a medical event—such as a fall, stroke, heart attack, or cancer—their health is seriously compromised, and family members are left to make difficult decisions about their future care. This often leaves the individual disoriented, frustrated, and unsettled.

    We decided not to place that burden on William. Instead, we chose to be proactive about our future. The community we’re moving to is a true Life Plan Community, offering everything we value: two restaurants, two bars, an exercise facility, a wellness center, a heated saltwater pool, a 50-seat theater, three daily meals, assisted living, and a hospital across the street with a helipad. Plus, there are countless programs and activities to enjoy. (I even told Katherine I might apply for the helicopter pilot’s job—just kidding!)

    By the way, William just passed his Captain’s Check Ride and completed his Initial Operating Experience. His world-renowned company compensates him well, and we couldn’t be prouder of both his achievements and his children’s strong faith in God as they look confidently toward their futures.

    We’ve been following the development of Seafields for the past two and a half years, and we’re downsizing into a 2BR, 2.5BA unit on Kiawah Island, just 40 minutes southeast of Charleston. The management organization has been in business for 150 years and is widely known for its “best practices and procedures” that keep seniors healthy, happy, and thriving.

    While this move is bittersweet, we are excited to embrace this new chapter in our lives.

    In closing, we want to thank the Lake Management leadership and staff for their exceptional stewardship over the past 40 years. We’ve deeply enjoyed our time here, and we pray that your legacy continues—keeping property values strong and preserving the pristine beauty of the lake for swimmers, paddle boarders, kayakers, boaters, and fishermen alike.

    May your lives always be enriched by the calm and serenity of Talahi Lake—Savannah’s Best Kept Secret.
    Amen.

    God bless, and all the best,

    Tom & Katherine Owens
    Formerly of 32 Twelve Oaks Dr.
