Our staff is courteous and understanding. Our facilities are comfortable and immaculate. Our services are handled with dignity and respect. If you are not completely satisfied with any of our services or facility offerings, we will reduce or eliminate the charge. We are the only funeral home in the area to offer this guarantee.
Funeral and Cremation costs can be very confusing. Often times other funeral & cremation providers will quote what seems like a low price, but actually they do not give you the complete costs and there will be hidden add on charges after you have chosen to utilize their services. We have made it easier ...
So sad to hear, we’ll remember her fondly as Spunky , our heart and prayers go out to the family
Your Mom was a wonderful woman! I am one of Betty Thomason’s nieces. I stayed with my Aunt during the Summer of 2016, which is when I first met your Mom. Aunt Betty and I looked forward to your Mom’s visits! She was positive, happy, and very funny! I have thought about calling her, to see how she was doing after the death of her friend, my beautiful Aunt Betty. I am sorry for your loss.
Mary Lou was a giving and loving soul. She touched many lives including mine, as she helped me grow into the person I am today. She taught me patience through the patience she gave to me. I know I wasn’t the easiest kid to watch and I was very outspoken and the way that she never lost her temper or gave up helped me realize what kind of a person I wanted to be. The way she took care of us is what made me want to babysit and become a nanny. She made me want to touch someones life in the way that she touched mine. Even after my sisters and I grew up enough to be on our own she came and visited with us and we looked forward to every time she came over. I still remember when she would come over at Christmas and always have an ornament for us, all of which still hang on our tree and will continue to stay there so she can always be with us. I am very sorry for your loss and will be praying for you through the healing process.
Sorry, Sue for you and your family. My mom was a Red Hat member with your mom at the senior center. I missed this announcement.
