Car, have a safe journey to Heaven. You deserve to be there as you gave so much to all..

Thank you Car for your 16 years of love and support to me, Jeremy, Joey & Jessa. You were there for us when our world was falling apart, and continued to be a strong support as those 3 kids grew into happy productive adults. I am so glad we had Facebook to keep in touch after you moved from Corpus. I know you loved to "watch" all their accomplishments and Jeremy's rise to Broadway and film. We are all saddened by your passing, but know you rest at peace with Our Father, and will now be a Guardian Angel to us and all your "kids". until we meet again...
Carolyn, I have missed you very much. I cherish the years when we were young and first got to know each other at Incarnate Word Academy. What a fine tine we had playing basketball and talking about how great it was to be Catholic, the one true church. You are such a sweet, dear person, and I love you dearly. I hope you put in a good word for me to God. I am looking forward to seeing you in Heaven someday.
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.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
Our family will be forever grateful to the owner and staff at Beresford Funeral Services for the excellent services they provided to our family upon the death of our loved one. Everything went smoothly. The planning was easy with everything needed for the funeral provided on sight at reasonable prices with no pressure to spend more than planned. They were flexible with our personal plans, very kind, and considerate from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Beresford Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services.
