Dear Joseph and Lydia,

Thanks so much for the special care and help you were to us when we lost our loved one. You knew what to ask, how to set things up for us and how to point us in the right direction. We sincerely appreciate all that you have done for us not only with our current loss but also in the losses of the past.

Joe and Lydia did a wonderful job with the service, reminding us of small details that we might have forgotten and just generally being there whenever we needed them. A wonderful job from wonderful people. Thank you again for everything you did for us.

Our whole family was grateful for Joseph and Lydia's help and guidance. They were very kind and compassionate while still helping us find our way through all the decisions we needed to make. We never felt rushed. They do a wonderful job and I would highly recommend them!

Our whole family appreciates so much the care and compassion we received at Brian's passing. You handled so many of the details when we didn't know how to proceed and relieved us of so many worries.
Our heartfelt thanks.

Thank you for all your help through this time of loss.

Joseph and Lydia
Our family would like to thank you so very much for your compassion and support during the week leading up to Tommy's services. You all made Tommy look so handsome, we received so many complements on him looking so peaceful. Every time we had a question, you would answer right away or you would find out. You took all of the worries from us on the day of his mass. We could focus on being present and grieving. Thank you.

Dear Joseph and Lydia,

I would like to thank you for the compassion you showed our family at the time of my mother's passing. You both have been wonderful to work with making sure things were the way we wanted them to be, taking care of a lot of planning and details. I thought the funeral booklet turned out very nice.

It was a cool day for the funeral service and burial, but the tent sure helped a lot. The flowers on the coffin were lovely, so thank you for your suggestions. My sister and I both appreciated that you had saved the notes you had taken from the earlier time we came in to visit with you, Joseph. It made the meeting after mom passed away go very smoothly.

Thanks again for your professionalism and compassion during this time.

Dear Joseph & Lydia,
We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Uncle Asa's funeral and the procession to the cemetery. We appreciate your great attention to detail. Because my uncle had lived a full life, his service definitely had the tone of a celebration. Lots of laughs combined with the feeling of how much he touched the hearts of everyone he knew. We were impressed with the formal procession through Winfield. The graveside service was wonderful and touching. Taps, presentation of the flag and the the heartfelt words from the pastor all made for a beautiful day. Our heartfelt thanks.
