Testimonials

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Tha you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you. Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad. Love, The Gillilands

To my family, I love you. Grandma was such a beautiful and spirited woman. I have so many fond memories of the Honeydale house. I cannot plunk away on a keyboard or eat a delicious mean without thinking of her. She loved well, and was well-loved by all. Especially her clan. Love. Love. Love. Lauren
Mom, don’t think I know that your last kiss and hug was goodbye or thank you. Thank you for being my mother and hope we meet again in better times.VyHYyg
It was an honor to be your daughter. God could not have chosen a better mother for me than you were. This is not goodbye but just a “until we are together again.” Love you, Christine
