Dear Amanda, Kerry & David, I am so sorry for your loss. I had just seen David at Mrs. Delmonte's Service and he told me his Dad wasn't doing well. I know how hard it is to lose someone you love so much! Dad has been gone 5 years and it seems like yesterday. But we can just remember all the good times on Bassett Rd. and the great memories built there, I wouldn't have traded it for the world! Take care Amanda you are in my thoughts. Sincerely Diane
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
