A wonderful father, a great man. You will always be remembered in our hearts and minds. May you now know the peace you have deserved these last few years. Look down on us and smile in the knowledge we love you very much.
Donna and Bill
I love you Grandpa Shad. Thank you so much for all the things you taught me and always being there for all of us. Your assistance, teachings, and jovial spirit will live on strongly forever through all of us.
We will always remember Shad our good friend and the good times we had in El Paso and at Marina Village. Our deepest sympathy for Nancy, Dennis, Donna and families. Our prayers are with them and we pray that they will be comforted.
Our memories are filled with all the fun and good times we shared together with you and Nancy. We would never have made it to Talledaga without you and your wonderful directions. If I remember right, we stopped at all the Walmarts on the way and you knew where they all were. What a guy! All our poker games, parties, New Years and Mardi Gras together were the best because of you and Nancy. I know how you loved your football games and those hospital stories are classics. You and Nancy were a great team and an inspiration to all of us that being with friends and family is the best part of life and Raymond and I were glad to be a part of it. You will be missed but never forgotten.
I would like to express my sympathy to the family. I hope you are finding comfort in the time you spent with your dear loved one. Please find comfort in the hope expressed in the Bible at Revelation 21:3,4 where it tells us that mourning, pain, and death will be things of the past. Even Jesus confirms this promise at John 5:28,29 where he says that those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. I hope you find comfort in this hope. Feel free to email me to comment or if you have questions. Again, please accept my condolences.
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.

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.
