    Thanks to Irene and to the fine, respectable gentlemen who came to get our dearly beloved Mother who had passed away. The kind respect and honor that was given was unsurpassed. The customer service was as if they were serving their own family. We loved Irene especially. Her loving ways and gentleness was unsurpassed at this trying time of grief. She is perfect for this job! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
