    Al and I were so sad to lose our dear friend and brother in the Lord. Tim made a strong commitment of his trust in God all his life. What a testimony this was to his friends and those who shared time with him. He was so giving of himself and said yes to many many moving projects, repairs, and electronic fixes for us and others. He had a heart of gold and was so devoted to family and friends. He was my birthday buddy and always smiled warmly with a twinkle in his eye when we shared that fact often over the years. We loved him so much. We will miss him but know we will see him again. L Vick

    My condolences to the family on Tim's passing. I also worked with him at WPS. We got along so well, he was always one with a story about the kids and grandkids, or about growing up in North Madison where I bought my house. He was a light and will be missed greatly. ~Lauren Winchester

    To Kim and family, We were saddened to hear of Tim's passing. All my children remembered you and your family. Karen especially talked about Zach. Amanda talked about how you helped her in OT. Also all the time at AWANA when they were in grade school. We know that God will hold all of you in His strong and mighty arms. He had surrounded all of you with friends and family during this time of grief and for the many days after. Sorry we cannot be there in person, but know that you are in our prayers. Sue, John, Michelle, Amanda, Brenda and Karen Pecotte

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.

James S. | July 2020

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.
