"Dear Bill and Ashlee,
I just wanted to express my gratitude for all your guidance, patience, and kindness during this difficult time. I realize that this is what you always do, but never did I feel like just "another customer". Your concern and compassion for myself and my family was very much appreciated and needed. Again, my heartfelt gratitude to yourself and your staff.

Sincerely,
Stacey Hammett"

"Bill,
On behalf of my family I want to thank you, your father Tom, Allen, Ashley and all of your staff for their compassion, professionalism and caring during a difficult time. Many family and friends commented on what a beautiful facility and wonderful staff you have. Your kindness was greatly appreciated by our entire family.

Thanks again,
Dwayne Galuska"

"Dear Bill,
I wanted to take the time to thank you for your prompt, professional, courteous service I received from you and Ashlee during that difficult time in my life. With having so many emotions running through my head and logically knowing items needed taken care of you and Ashlee did a wonderful job of guiding me along with respect not only for me, but my father's memory and remains.

Bill, if I didn't get ahold of you directly, you were very prompt in getting back to me. Helping with the obituary picture at the last minute meant the world to me; we so wanted to make sure his picture accompanied his obituary in the Sunday paper. Had you not been so proactive, I'm not sure I would have made the deadline. Thank you.

Ashlee, your compassion, gentleness, soft-spoken words were a comfort to me. You have a knack for doing what needs done in a professional, caring, warm manner. You are truly an asset to Bill.

It was comforting to know the people I was dealing with at such a difficult time were caring, compassionate, and respectful individuals towards not only me, but my Dad's memory, was comforting.

Sincerely,
Connie Forte"

"Allen & Hindman Staff,
Thank you so much for handling everything so well for my husband's burial. I've gotten nothing but positive feedback about the memorial service and how beautiful the home itself is.

What more can I say? You did a wonderful job and I appreciate all that you did for us.

Sincerely,
LuAnn Sheeder"

"Dear Bill,
I want to thank you for the thoughtful services you provided us. Alan and I will never forget Brad coming and taking us home from the services. Tony was laid to reset in a most life-like manner. After being sick for such a long, long time, we are most grateful.

Sincerely,
Betty"

"Dear Mr. Hindman,
Hi Bill! I want to thank you for the beautiful service you arranged for our mom. You are so easy to talk to and work with that even a sad job that needs being done seems less stressful with you or your father. Please keep up the good work for all of the people that trust in you.

"Dearest Tom & Bill,
I knew eventually there would be a time that I would rely on both of you. It was such a comfort to me, knowing my Daddy and Mom were in such capable hands. Everything from the moment, Tom, you got back to Heide's call to the final moments at the grave side were a loving, caring tribute to my dad's life and to the tender care given to all of us.

Loving you so much,
G. Eash"

please accept my deepest gratitude for the kind, caring, and professional way you handled Miller's funeral.

In perhaps the most difficult time of my personal life - losing my precious mom - you succeeded in helping us as a family to bring dignity and honor to her memory - all with a warmth and sincere caring that was uniquely you. Please also thank Tom, your wonderful Dad for me, for supporting all that you did for us and being there for us all. I will never forget his kind and beautiful words about my mom at the grave site.

Warmly and sincerely,

Sometimes I think the funeral director is taken for granted because it is his job, but we want you to know that we appreciated very much all your help and kindness in our recent loss.  It means a lot to know that somebody is there when needed.  We are sure going to miss Daddy.

Thank your Mother also for her kindness,

Lois and Birdie"

Thank you for all your help during this most difficult time in my life. You have taken some of the burden off of my shoulders and I deeply appreciate it.  You have been a true friend in handling every aspect of the arrangements, the funeral itself, and in answering some of my questions.

Everyone who came to the viewing remarked about how wonderfully natural Fritz looked, in spite of the tremendous weight loss he had suffered!  His family from Philadelphia and New York were very impressed with your work and facilities.  Both Ralph and I were very well satisfied with everything.

In grateful appreciation,

Amelia Alberti"

Where do I begin to thank you for all you did on the behalf of my Uncle Joe & our family.  I (and my cousin Mark) were so grateful for your wise counsel, attention to details, and coordinating a major portion of the funeral arrangements.  I especially appreciated how sensitive you were to meeting the desires of my Uncle in a most difficult time.  As our family members rapidly age, I am confident that your strength and experience will be supporting us in the future.

Love,

We all thought you did an excellent job in making my mother look like, well, like she looked.  Thanks also for serving as pall bearer.  We felt the entire funeral experience was one which my mom would have been proud to have.

If there is ever anything any one of us can do for you, please let us know.

Sincerely,

Russell Gray & Family"

"Dear Tom,

We wanted you to know how much we appreciated all your thoughtfulness, kindness, comfort and understanding that was given to us by you & your staff.

"Dear Mr. Hindman,

I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for doing such a terrific job laying my father, Charles M. Burkett, to rest.  Everything was so beautiful and very well done.  As well, you were there every step of the way to answer any questions that I or my family had to ask.

I would also like to add that it has been a pleasure doing business with you, Sir!  I'm sure the funeral business is a very difficult business to run.  Especially trying to please people who are not in a pleasing mood.  I, on the other hand, am very pleased with the way it worked out!  Your kindness and your generosity will never be forgotten.

Thank you again, kind Sir!  May all the roads in life lead to eternal bliss.

Forever Grateful,

Michael Burkett"

"Dear Tom, Bill, & Staff,

On behalf of my family I want to thank you for the services you have rendered for my Mom, Viona, and all of our family.  Your thoughts and words of condolence& memories of her were very comforting.  She had a gift that was God given.  She was there for many sick and dying friends and even strangers who, I believe, were placed at the time they needed a truly caring and faith-filled friend.

God Bless you for your service to those in need.

Sincerely,

Norma"

"Mr. Hindman,

Thank you so much for your patience.  I'm still battling with Chesapeake Ins. so I'm not sure what will happen.  As of yesterday they're still waiting for his medical records.  I guess the fact that it was an accident accounts for nothing.

Mostly though, thank you for your kindness, understanding & beautiful funeral services you provided.  Bill would have been pleased.  Also, thank you for the name of a Counselor.  I've gone one time so far, going again tomorrow.  I don't know that I'll ever feel better but at least they tell me I'm not crazy.  My mind is handling this normally.

Thanks again."

"Bill & Allen,

Thank you for everything you helped us with.  Your help was greatly appreciated in our time of need.

Good Bless You,

Shari Kinsey & Family"

"To Tom, Bill & Allen,

From our whole family we send deepest thanks for the kindness, time, and personal attention you gave each one of us through Mom's funeral days.

Mom had mentioned to Aunt Gerry that she wanted to pre-plan her funeral (after Boots died).  I believe that what we put together, with your help, would have made her very happy.  The video tribute was wonderful - in her words, she'd have said it was "a real hit" - even though it was at her funeral!

Tom, to you a special thanks for your solos during the service.  It was a special gift to all of us.

Sincerely,

Sylvia McDonald & Family."

"Bill, Tom, Alan and Staff,

Thank you all for doing such a wonderful job and by making this very difficult time slightly easier to handle.  All of you are wonderful!

Thank you & God Bless!

Lisa, Emily, Nathan & Katie Saylor"

"Dear Bill,

I want to thank you for your help.  The family was very pleased after we got finished with Mr. Horner.  You probably observed he had lost a lot of weight, over 100 lbs. in a five-month period, to be exact.  I could not have done a good job if he had not been prepared properly.  I thank you again for the excellent job you did for me.

Thank you. 

Sincerely,

Keller Funeral Home"

"Dear Bill,

I appreciated all the way how you went out of your way to handle the funeral, and I know you didn't charge enough on the bill.

This is not a business letter, but a token for yourself.  Thanks a million.

Yours Truly,

Albert Rager"

"Dear Bill,

Terry and I were pleased with everything you did for us.  I am sure things were carried out in the manner Bob would have wanted.  It's so nice to have you as a brother.  I also know it was very difficult for you.

Bless You.

Love,

Thank you,

Charles E. Foster"

"Dear Tom,

Kathy and I wish to thank you for tremendous assistance in the recent deaths of my mother and father.  We have felt so relieved that we set up the burial trust and had you help us with the pre-planned arrangements.  While such things may be a normal course for you, you made our circumstances feel very personalized and we thank you for that.

It is ironic life brings us to these crossroads.  I can remember being in my home on Sheridan Street and my mother , Norma, pointing you out as you walked from school and identifying you to me.

Thanks for your help and your follow-up on the Avava marker.

Sincerely,

Kathy & Gene Schmult"

"Dear Tom,

How do I begin to thank you for all you've done for our family.  God is so good - he supplies all our needs in ways we can't even imagine.  To have a fine Christian friend to be there to help Mother when I couldn't meant so very much.  Your warmth & compassion made a very difficult situation much easier.  Having to give up a loved one is never easy.  No matter how good life has been the loss is overwhelming, but we are able to find comfort in how much we gained from the years we had together.  We find that our memories give us strength, the love of our friends gives us comfort & the love of God give us peace.  We rejoice that Dad is with his dear Lord & Savior.

Our love & thanks,

Dianna, Jim & David Fisher

Lori Ann & Terry Streit"

God Bless You All,

Shay"

"Dear Tom,

We want to say again that we were pleased with all your services for the viewing & funeral.  It was good to get to know you & your mother & to learn that we share a mutual friend. 

I've written to E.J. to reinforce our invitation for her to visit with us.  If you have the opportunity please urge her to do so, and assure your mother that we would be delighted to have her come along.

  
I've also written to Mr. Molnar to let him know we felt the service was very fine.  He seems like a highly capable & certainly a likeable person.

Sincerely,

Edna F."

"Dear Tom, Shirley & Mrs. Hindman,

Well you can surely tell I'm not in the teaching end of the family but we all want to thank you for all the personal touches you added to help us through our loss.  And Tom, thanks for keeping an eye on George.  He can be a handful at times and Lurlene needed Shirley's extra touch and Mrs. Hindman thanks for your support and the good coffee."

"Dear Mrs. Hindman & Tom,

I would like to thank you for all the help you have given to me concerning my Aunt.  It was a learning experience.  Your helpfulness was appreciated.

Sincerely,

"Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for all the kindness above & beyond the call of duty shown to our family.  Tom, I know Mom was happy with the way everything went.

God Bless,

"Dear Jeromy,

Just a note to say thank you for all you did for us.  We feel we gained a friend, not just a person doing his job.

Everything was wonderful.  Just the way Chuck would have wanted it. 

I know you will thank of us every time you hear the world "calliope".

Thanks for everything.

Fondly,

Judie"

"Jeromy,

Just when I lose faith in the younger generation, God sends someone with compassion and caring for others.  Even my brother who never says anything nice about anyone, declared you as a rarity of your youth.

When the waitress told us the gentleman had paid our bill, I looked at my friend in complete awe.  In all my years I have never had that happen to me.  So that fattening treat became very special.  Thank you so very much.

God be with you in all your endeavors.  Have a great time on the mountains.

Sincerely,

Paula (Maxfield) Miller"

"Tom,
Mom looked like an angel - she is an angel!  Thanks so much for all the "special" courtesies extended to our family.  Everything was beautiful.  God has truly blessed you with many gifts, Tom.  We so appreciate being able to make this kind of arrangement with a friend. 

We love you!

Myrna, Linda, Helen, Wally"

"Tom,

We want to thank you again for all the comforting help you gave to my family at the time of our loss (Catherine Mowery) & also other loved ones who passed on before.

We cannot even express the comforting reassurance we feel of knowing that someone we love so dearly will be taken care of by you.

PS I also want to extend my appreciation to Alan for his help of answering questions.  He also was a great help to our family as well as you.

With Gratitude,

You have been a great blessing to me.  You go above & beyond your professional duties.  I thank you for all your help & your friendship when I was in need.

This past week I received acknowledgement of application from Veterans Administration, Pittsburgh, PA.  Thanks to you & your interest.  I would not think this applied to me, as distant relative as an Aunt.

Thank you,

Ruth Ashcroft"

"Dear Tom,

Paul & I wish to express our appreciation for the way in which you cared for Aunt Jane's wishes and helped us to honor them as well as her friend's feelings.  I'm glad to have had the chance to know you, and hope we meet again.  My best to your Mother.

Cordially,

Jane"

"Dear Tom and Shirley,

A simple thanks is hardly enough.  Your love, support and presence and help in many ways was a source of comfort.

We want to thank you especially for being understanding and gracious about our not asking you to handle funeral arrangements.  We very much wanted your support yet feel that Ed could handle the arrangements across both churches (particularly in getting a plot in Christ the Savior Cemetery - which was somewhat political).  However, the decision was made with a great deal of thought and we felt very torn.  Your love and friendship, though - we knew and trusted - remained with us, and for that we are deeply grateful.  We will never forget your caring.

With love,

Charlie, Cindy, Dave & Kathy"

"Dear Jeromey -

Just a short note to say thank you again, for all you've done.  My Mom looked beautiful, hair and all.  Like I told you, my niece was concerned, as she is a hair dresser in Pittsburgh.  I'm just glad everyone was happy so to speak.  Bill is lucky to have someone as caring as you"

"Dear Mr. Hindman,

Thank you for your wonderful prompt help to myself, my father-in-law and my parents.  My Mom sent some pictures (at my request) of the casket and the beautiful flower arrangements."

"Dear Mrs. Hindman & Tom,

Thank you both for your very special blend of professionalism and friendship in our time of need.

The Kalister Family"

"Dear Mr. Hindman,

Lovingly,

June Hoyland"

"Dear Mrs. Hindman,

My wife's mother, Mrs. Pattison, asked me some time ago to send along this check.  I thought I would drop it of and say hello some time when I was in Johnstown, but there never seemed to be the time with all the family to see and things to do around the house.  In any event, here it is finally, and with many thanks.  Your kind letter also meant a great deal to her.  Nor have we forgotten your kindness and the gentle and dignified professional services of your son, Tom, when my father died.  It was a great comfort.

Sincerely,

Lyle Barkhymer"

"Dear Hindman Funeral Home,

I would like to thank you for all the special care and plans you made so my daughters and myself could have our grieving time in private.  I felt the day of the funeral everything would work out.  I know you took special care so we would not be hurt in any way.  This was a very sad ending to a wonderful life. 

God Bless!

Love,

The Martin Family"

"Mr. Hindman,

I'm Walter Rudnik's granddaughter, Marcy Morris (the one who asked if your assistant was coming to dinner!)

I just wanted to thank you for all you've done for my family.  You've helped us through so much when we needed it most.  Especially my grandmother, she's really grateful to you.

I'm so glad you let us have his service at your funeral home.  My grandfather always loved you and it was his wish to be at your funeral home when he died.  He didn't want to be anywhere else. And his last wish came true.

Thank you also for singing at his service.  You have a beautiful voice and he loved it.  He often spoke highly of your voice when you sang at our church.

I know he's looking down on us all from heaven and is very happy. I know he's thankful to us and all you've done, which was very much.  God intended it to be this way and I'm glad it was.

I'll never forget all you did for us and once again, thank you very much.

God Bless & Sincerely Yours,

Marcy Morris"

Once again, we would like to thank you for everything.

Sincerely,

Ron & Bev Rummel Jr."

"Dear Mr. Hindman,

Our afternoon with Anna Mary and your Youth was filled with discussion, questions and concerns generated by our visit and your presentation.  Listening and watching the young folks, I think that the day was very successful in getting them to think about death and dying in the context of our Christian faith.

 
Once again, thank you for your time, expertise and sensitivity.  Pastor Miller and myself greatly appreciated the care and concern you showed to the group.  As well, extend our thanks to Mr. Hubbard for his presence and participation.

  
We appreciate your help and ask God's continued guidance in your ministry with those who have been touched by death.

In Christ's Service,

Pastor Ed DeVore"

"Dear Tom,

On behalf of Dad and myself, I wish to thank you for all your help during Mom's funeral.

Our circumstances were different but we managed very well.  Thank you for your part in making everything run so smoothly.

Please thank your mother for playing the piano at the service.  She and I must be two of the few people who are familiar with the hymn, "There's a Rose That is Blooming."

God Bless,

Mary J. Varner"

"Dear Tom,

The past two weeks have been difficult ones for us, and it surely was a comfort (for us) to have all final arrangements for Mother taken care of by caring friends.

We were pleased with the way you handled all of the details, and are especially appreciative of the many kindnesses you and your mother extended to us.

E. Jane (for Dad and Mary Lou)"

"Dear Mr. Hindman and Tom,

Thank you very much for the kindness and sympathy shown to us during these days.

Love and Prayers,

Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hunt"

"Dear Sirs,

I want to thank you so very much for the way everything was done.  I was so satisfied with everything - the way the body was laid out, the way the flowers were arranged & the peaceful serenity of the parlor itself.  At the graveside event, though it was pouring rain, I felt so protected.  And, the selection of the family sprays were in such good taste.  Best of all was the feeling everything was done to save the family any responsibility at all. 

My son & daughter join me in thanking you along with my son-in-law & daughter-in-law.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Andie H. Edberg"

"Dear Tommy,

We want to thank you for all you did for us in our sorrow.  You really did a nice job in making our mother and wife look nice.  You were so kind to us all.  We greatly appreciate all your help.

God Bless,

"Thank you" are not enough words to say how very special you were to us in our time of need!  It was very special to us to have "Daddy" there where you could care for him as well as us and the visitors.  Thank you for seeing to it that Ken was there for us.  I am so very grateful for all you do for him.  Thank you for your extreme kindness to us all.

Fondly,

Anna May & the Family of Ray Fleming"

"Dear Tom,

Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice and music with us on the occasion of Pete's service.  It was very meaningful and comforting to have you with us.

God Bless,

Ralph & Denise Horner"

"Dear Tom,

For almost four decades, time and time again you have been an incredible friend.  Once again you went extra miles to bring comfort to Dan and families.

We will be forever grateful for your expert ability in handling delicately but effectively, the worried diversities in the family.  You and Bill made every effort to accommodate all the various needs, large & small, and having great tolerance for the at times over-active children.

  
The most appreciated aspect of your efforts was the many instances when you witnessed to your deep faith in God, praying with and for us."

Sincerely,

I do appreciate your thoughtfulness and the dignified way that you took care of Gloria.  Everything was conducted in the manner that I think she would have wanted.

We have all suffered a great loss.  I don't think I'll ever understand why, but I'll always be thankful for the time we spent together.

Again, I would like to thank you and your family for the kindness and comfort that you gave to all during this great tragedy.

Thank you,

Jim Davis"

The Lloyd Craig Family"

"Dear William,

You have my sincere and deepest appreciation for your many special care and help given to my son, William J Menshy in preparing him for our family.  I know it must have been very difficult for you since he was your Uncle's student and he was special to Mr. Hindman.  I don't know what to say except thank you from all of us, and God Bless you and keep you in his loving care.

Respectfully,

Delores Menshy and Daughter"

"Tom,

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you did for us during the time of our sorrow.  You're a very special person that God has put in a very special profession.  God knows and plans all of our lives and he knew exactly where to put you.  Thank you for being obedient to his calling.  You are really a comfort to those who are in need of your services. 

Thank you for accommodating our large family and for the special song you sang that really ministered to our hearts and above all for the special work you did for Dad.  He truly looked beautiful.  We will forever be thankful.

Mary Rudnik, Myrna, Linda, Helen & Wally"

"Dear Tom,

I just had to write to thank you for the excellent and meaningful presentation last Wednesday.  It was quite obvious why you are a success at what you do.  Your caring and concern radiates.  I personally appreciated the time spent on discussing organ donation.  This "gift of life" is a special cause to me - thank you.  Your musical ministry was quite moving.  I could have listened to more.  Again, thank you for sharing your ministry with us.

Sincerely,

Barb"

"Nate,

Words cannot express my appreciation for all the nice things you've done for me, in the recent death of my dear Mother, Eva Smith.

  Once again, thanks and God Bless you.

Sincerely,

Sarah Berg"

"Tom,

Thank you so much for making a very difficult time a lot less painful.  We can't thank you enough for your support, let alone seeing Mom's face when you sand her favorite songs.

 We wanted you to have something for making the church service so special.

The Raymond M. Bracken Family"

"Dear Tom,

I just wanted to tell you that each time I have attended a funeral in which you have been in charge of the arrangements, I have been so blessed by the manner in which you closed the service.

Your final words to the family and friends are very comforting - and just seem to bring it to the perfect close.  You are very sensitive to the people at that moment.

  
And for your kindness and offering of service to the Cambria City Mission over the years, I express my appreciation.  You have been blessed with a beautiful voice and you have shared that talent so that countless others have been blessed.

  
I am always touched as I look about and see that people in their own little world, their own little corner, their own little business are faithfully serving the Lord - and are following His command in Matthew 5:16 to "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father, who is in heaven."  You are doing just that, Tom, and I praise God for you.

  
May the Lord in all of His faithfulness, His goodness and HIs mercy and grace, bless you abundantly.

In Christian Love,

Myrna Gilbert"

"Dear Tom,

The insurance checks have arrived finally, and I'm sending your check on to you with deep gratitude for your very kind and helpful planning and loving consideration for all our wishes in preparing for Bud's funeral.

It was such a comfort to all of us to be in the presence of such fine Christian friends as you and your mother at such a very difficult time for us.  We were so pleased and comforted by your efforts to present Bud as he really was; a pleasant, sturdy, proud Christian gentleman, husband and father.  He really looked just as we wanted to remember him.

 
Your sharing of your closeness and affection for your own father helped our children to accept the loss of theirs.

 
Your mother's presence and loving concern was such a help to me, too.

Sincerely,

Millie Reighard"

"Dear Tom,

You did an excellent job.  He looked like himself and the clothes were real sharp looking.  He would have liked that.  Thank you for all your help. 

Dad had no antique reels or rods.  I will be sending a couple of his "plugs" shortly.  I'm sure our paths will cross again sometime.

Sincerely,

Nancy Varner"

"Dear Mr. Hindman,

It was good to have you come and share in our Seminar, "Living With Loss".  We appreciated the good way you helped us see the need for early planning and being ready to face the reality of death.

I believe the response in questions indicated the need for this kind of presentation as well as the interest and appreciation for your being here.  There were many good comments and statements of appreciation for your contribution in our Seminar.

  
On behalf of the church, I want to say a very warm thank you for your coming and being part of this experience.

Sincerely,

Walnut Grove Church of the Bretheren

David C. Wilson, Pastor"

"Dear Tom,

Thank you for all you did for us.  You took so much of the burden off of us in the last preparations for our Aunt Susan.

Thanks again,

Phyllis & "PeeWee"

"Dear Tom,

Thank you so much for everything.  I know Clem would have been very pleased.

Ray & Doris Grumbling"

"Dear Tom,

You did a beautiful job on my Mother.  It still hurts to think that I can't talk to her anymore.  We are sorry it took so long for this check but we couldn't get the lawyers to hurry anything!  They have one speed - slow!"

"Bill,

You have a wonderful God-given talent for being especially thoughtful.  Your overwhelming concern & willingness to go the extra mile helped us through several difficult days.  Making the chicken soup for the Thursday visitation meal was unexpected & incredibly generous.  Offering to deliver flowers to the Lutheran & Brethren Homes filled us with admiration for the lesson you gave.

Love,

Geeg & Dan"

"Dear Tom,

Time and again and again and again you've been there for so many things.  Advice, direction, inspiration.  A person willing to do or say whatever was needed.

You'll be missed at our table, but a comfort to know not far from Grace's family.

Thank you and God Bless,

Church Council"

"Dear Tom,

Again, thank you for taking care of all the arrangements there in Johnstown.  It was certainly reassuring to know everything was in such good hands.  We will all be returning to Johnstown in the early summer to visit the site.

Give my love to your mom.  Thanks for all your prayers & words of kindness.

Sincerely,

Terry"

Pate & Gene Laughrey"

"Dear Tom,

Thank you for your kindness and sensitive guidance during the loss of our Mother.  I'm glad we had the foresight to do some planning last year, and I do believe it made things easier for us now.

Yours is a special ministry and no one could be better suited for it.  Your singing of Mother's favorite song brought us all so close to her.  Words cannot express our appreciation to you.

God Bless You,

The Marek Family"

"Dear Tom,

Heartfelt thanks for all the times you have "gone the extra mile" for Dad and our family!

Love,

Betty, Darlene, Jack, Ted, Bonnie & Bobby"

"Dear Tom,

Thank you for your part in the beautiful memorial service for Jack today.  I am sure the family found the entire service comforting.  I felt Pastor Phil's message was a beautiful tribute to a fine Christian man.

Your message in song with your special way of comforting those who are grieving meant so much to all of us.  The people at Pleasant Hill all love you.  Thank you, Tom.

Lovingly,

June

P.S. Your son is indeed a boy to be proud of!"

"Bill,

Thank you so much for everything you did. The service was beautiful.  You made a most difficult & painful time for us just a little easier.

Lisa Marek, Daisy & Kids"

"Dear Tom,

Thank you sincerely for all your kind deeds before and after Pop's death.  We shall never forget your song of celebration and then how difficult it must have been to sing "Heirlooms" at the funeral service.  He would have been so happy with the beautiful service in the church, and how your talent embraced us with pride, not only in life but also in death.

We love you,

Aunt Ruth and Uncle Bob"

"Tom & Allan,

I want to thank you again for the kindness you showed at the time of my husband's death.  Also for the extra care you took to cover the tumors on his chin and neck.  That meant so much to my sons.  The service and your help are very much appreciated.

Thank you again,

Rosemarie Nemeth & Family"

Thank you for all your help and understanding in the loss of my son.  He & I had a great relationship, I will miss him terribly.

"Dear Bill,

I want to thank you for assisting me so much with John A. Adams's funeral last Monday at the Frankstown Road facility.  You truly made my unhappy task bearable the day we made all the arrangements.  All went very well, and I was very pleased with all the efforts you and your staff made to make my burden a little less.  The Frankstown Road funeral home is absolutely gorgeous.  The "country" atmosphere makes it seem less like the "dreaded" funeral home.  I will recommend your home(s) to anyone when asked.  I wish you and your staff nothing but success with this venture.

Sincerely yours,

Doris Shever"

"Jeremy,

Thank you so much for guiding our family through a very difficult time.
