Grandma, You are greatly missed, but also greatly loved. As much as it hurt to let go, you are in a much better place, upstairs with your maker, and with great grandaddy. A place i heard several times that you were ready to be. i love you and miss you.

Dear Scott and Sarah,

I couldn’t let this opportunity pass without expressing my sincere appreciation for all of your work, As time passes, we all attent too many funerals. I must say that this funeral was carried out in a manner that was unequalled.

Mother had suffered greatly, lost a lot of weight, and had lost her signature look. Seeing her in the casket at the viewing shocked me. Ethel was back, everything was perfect. Linda performed her magic in the hairstyle and the rest was done by you.

The way you have integrated the computer and the camera to give a full account of the flowers is excellent. The thank you card and the picture of the flowers was unexpected by the giver. An excellent touch.

I’m glad you have the funeral home in Rich Square, I feel like the funeral was handled by family and I’m proud of that. A lot of people have told me they were impressed by your work. I’m confident that each funeral you conduct will bring more people to you.

My family, especially me, sends a sincere thank you for all of your work in making the passing of Mama somewhat eaiser.

Thank you,

Edith Wallace

What a nice family you have Edith & Nancy. I know you more so than your other two sisters, but my sadness goes out to all of you. I remember your Mom just as she looks in this picture. Those years knowing you and your family will always be remembered.

We are thinking of you during this time of sorrow. It is also a time to be joyous. Ms. Ethel is no longer in pain. There are no tears of suffering. Only tears of happiness being in the house of her master. Please take time to grieve and reflect on the special times that you have had with mom, sister, grandma. I hear she was a cat bird in her day. lol But she always looked after her family and friends. I can remember the good stews and cookouts we attended at her home. Remember “Charlie to the rescue” to help her off the floor. They both ended up laughing.

Know that we love all of you and each of you have a special place in our hearts.
