    I am deeply saddened by Thom's passing. As Patty and Thom's neighbor, I will always treasure the countless outdoor conversations we shared. Thom had a way of making every topic feel meaningful, and those moments of talking about everything and nothing will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a wonderful presence in our community, and his kindness and warmth will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with Patty and the family during this difficult time.

    I am so sorry to hear of Thom's passing. I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends. I got to know Thom while he drove for Lamers and serviced the college's shuttle route. He was insistent on providing top-notch customer service and it was a joy to share stories with him and his colleagues. Thom, may you rest in peace. Thank you for making our lives better. ~ Tina Ahedo

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.

Lynda R. | July 2020

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.
