A Funeral Directors Prayer

Lord, give me the patience to serve everyone as my own; the wisdom to understand others feelings; the knowledge to learn as well as to instruct; the kindness to treat everyone equally at all times; the strength to endure long hours and hard work; the desire to serve others as I would my own family; the humility to accept words of thanks and praise; the Compassion to touch another's soul; the pride and the right to smile when I have served a family well; and, Lord, most importantly the right to shed an honest tear when my heart is touched; Lord, make me thankful that I am a Funeral Director.

Dear Dave, You've been an excellent friend. I know you say it's your job, but you went above and beyond. Your thoughtfulness, love, patience, guidance, respect, and all those little extras that were so big to us, means more to me and all my family than you will ever know. You gave me security at a time I'll never be able to forget. Again thanks will never be enough.
- Sincerely, Elly Gray & Family

Dear David & Staff, No wonder there's so much warmth and compassion behind the thanks this brings your way. Your special kindness brought such joy, it really made the day. And when any group of people does the thoughtful things you do, it's hard to find words warm enough to thank each one of you.
- The Fergus Family
