    Dear Ida and Family

    I was so sorry to learn of the death of John. I know he will be greatly missed as a husband, father and friend.

    Although I never knew your family well my parents thought alot of all of you. My parents were Alvin and Elna Rhodes. I know that your family enjoyed many laughs and good times…I always remember when Charlie sold his baby sister.

    Remember all the good times and all the treasured memories.

    Mrs. Hopkins,
    I feel Blessed to have had a friend in Mr. Hopkins. His voice resonates in my head.

    It’s “cutting” time again and it will be difficult and strange not to talk to Mr. Hopkins and know that I wouldn’t have to worry about our “lots”. I’ll miss him. We had good conversations and many laughs as you know.

    Mrs. Hopkins and family, I wish you strength and comfort as you go forward. Take care and God Bless all of you!!

    Judy

Funeral Pre-Planning

Today more than ever, people are choosing to pre-plan or prepay for their own funeral arrangements. Such planning helps prevent the surviving family members from having to make arrangements on short notice, reduces emotional strain and helps to ensure that the wishes of the deceased will be respected.
