    Dear Bette.......Sending my condolences to you and Dollie's family. I worked with you for two years in 1970. The traveling time we spent together was enjoyable, which always included Dollie's humor. It has been my pleasure to have those memories. Blessed be her memory forevermore........Heather W. Meyer

    Bette & Dollie's nieces~ I'm SO very sorry to hear of Dollie's passing. I really enjoyed her & Bette too! They made my time @ The Waterford more fun. Dollie always had a twinkle in her eye as she'd tease everyone. What a character. I shared a couple of pix from our visits, one here @ my house, & one at the Waterford. 🥰 The world's a little darker now without Dollie in it. Please keep me posted about her memorial. Sending a big hug & love to Bette.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
