Dearest Nana, It's been a month and I miss you so much. I think of you all the time. There are moments in my days that I feel so sad that you're gone. Other days I'm filled with joy knowing you were in my life and knowing you're with our maker. I love you and until we meet again. Jen
Sandy, I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of your mother, it's so terribly hard to loose a parent. I have fond memories of her from my early childhood and youth. Your Mom was such a hard worker her whole life, I hope that she is at peace with your Dad and Carol now. You and your family have my deepest sympathies.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
