    Hello – My condolences for your loss. My grandmother, Alice Mand Yerdon, was Gertrude’s sister. So my mother, Lucille Nielsen, was Kathleen’s first cousin. Kathleen was a part of my very early life and was even in my Aunt Carol’s wedding. My husband and I are sending a donation in your mother’s name to the Kid’s First Fund.

    Sincerely,
    Jim and Carla Wilks

Testimonials

October 22, 2015

Mike and the staff went above and beyond during our very difficult time with passing of our Opa. Mike helped relieve the immense stress by being extremely professional, paying attention to the smallest details and the overall kindness and compassion in caring for our family at our time of need. We do not believe that a thank you truly covers our deep gratitude towards you. Thank you for everything you have done for us.

Katlynn "Kiki" Stanke & the Family of Karl Stanke
