Sherra and family,
I am so sorry you have lost your mother. Mrs. Barrett was a lovely, sweet and gracious lady. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I know that we will see you again but until then we will keep you in our hearts.
Dear Mom:
It has taken a several months for me to be able to write this. I cannot write this without the tears flowing. I think of you everyday, but know you are home with Grandma and Grandpa. I miss you terribly, but that I too, will see you again someday. I love you Mom. Please look after all of us. We all need our angels.
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.
