It is very hard to say goodbye to someone who loves life so much and was so kind to others. From near and far, Jenny always remembered and reached out to me. Knowing that she touched other lives is a blessing to our family. My prayers and thoughts are with you each day.

Aunt Jenny was such a loving, joyful and thoughtful spirit. She was always so thoughtful of me and I will never forget how kind she was to me. She will be greatly missed.

Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated . Your services to George and our family were above and beyond our expectations. Thank you never seems sufficient when the situation appears and is often overwhelming. Your concern for us and our guests will never be forgotten.

... throughout these back to back losses, your gracious concern and professionalism made the time special.

.. not only are you the best - but the town / village of Warwick respects you very much. All with good reason.

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for making Mom’s Memorial Service a success. We appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail.

I believe Mom would have been very pleased with the whole production. Thanks again for making Mom’s day a special memory for our family and friends.
