We cannot thank Brian and Gary Langendorf and all at Draeger-Langendorf for your professionalism and expertise, your kindness and compassion, and for allowing us to think outside the box and give our dad a celebration of life that was perfectly suited to him. You made a very difficult time for us a little easier…and there is no way to adequately express our gratitude. Thank you for everything!
