"Kim and I would like to “thank you” so much for your help in making our vow renewal day something very special, and a day that we’ll always remember.

Thanks again for everything, and have a great day!!"

Celebration of Life Services
“Rev. Hazel, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful service you did for my daughter Terri yesterday. I looked around for you after I made several made dashes to the other house for things I forgot, but once I slowed down a little, I realize that you had left. It was pretty chaotic there when getting lunch set up. I wanted to thank you again (and again and again!) and say good bye. Several of the attendees wanted to tell you want a wonderful service it was – some said the best they had ever been to or heard. I really appreciated your going the extra mile and at such short notice. You must love what you do, because you are so good at it! I also appreciated your providing me a copy of the whole thing. I was able to send it to several people who weren’t able to come. Anyway thank you so much. Love,”
- Judy Gorenc – July 27, 2015
Thank you so much for your support during this time of grief. We are appreciative of your kind words and graceful presence.
