    I'm terribly sorry to hear of Greg's passing. We've done business for several years. There are customers who come and who go, and you never get to know them at all. Then there was Greg. He was always a pleasure to talk to, a kind soul and he will be missed. My heart felt condolences to the family.

    Greg gave me a chance as a tenant even though I didn't look great on paper. I was close to homelessness at that time and I will forever be grateful that he was willing to rent to me so I could have a home for myself and my son. He was a kind and caring man and I want to extend my deepest condolences to all who loved him.

    We had the privilege of knowing Greg, our neighbor, for 9 years. He was an outstanding, talented, hard-working soul with a heart of gold. He will be missed so much, especially on our Thursday nite "car nites". His knowledge and passion was unmatched. So sorry for your loss, he will not be forgotten!❤️ Steinar & Mary

    Sincere sympathy to the family. I use to take Greg's mom to church and she would talk about all her kids and grandchildren. I feel like I knew Greg. I will be out of town Saturday or I would attend the service to see you all. I sure miss Virginia. God Bless and comfort you all.

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!

Michael M. | July 2020

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.
