Dear Jimmy, Thank you again for all that you did this past weekend for arranging the burial of my mother's ashes at Laurel Hill Cemetery. My brother and I along with the rest of my extended family appreciate the attention that you gave to the arrangements, including providing us with a tent at no cost. We stopped by Laurel Hill as we left and everything was in order following the placement of the slab. Personally, I appreciate all of the guidance that you gave me in readying for the service as well as your patience. This sort of occasion is never easy for the family, but you made it as easy as it could be. Thank you again for all of you assistance. Brian E. Crenshaw

Dear Allen & Allen, I am very grateful to all of you for the good service and care you provided to our family over the years, most recently on the death of my mom. Darrell, you have been there through all the financial arrangements when dad got sick, and Mr. Plymale was very efficient and professional with the arrangements when dad died. Jimmy was so helpful in getting mom from Florida to Georgia as well with the arrangements. I couldn't have asked for more. And Michelle, you have kept all of the above on track! Thank you for your work and gracious spirit. Please know that Allen & Allen is providing good ministry to the community near and far. Jeff Redfearn and family

To all the staff. Thank you all so much for your wonderful, patience help and guidance at the time of Ed's recent death. You're a great staff and a pleasure to work with. The assurance of everything and anything being handled efficiently and appropriately was very comforting. I also want to say again what a tremendous help the Aftercare Guide book has been. I have referred to it so many times. Thank you for providing the worthwhile book! Last, but not least, our family sincerely appreciates your thoughtfulness gesture of requesting a tree be planted in memory of Ed. That is a very nice thing to do. We have supported various arbor societies through the years ourselves and have ordered trees that we have planted in our yard. So your memorial is very appropriate. Thank you so much for everything.

Dear Darrell, Thank you so much for everything you did to make King's service a good one. We appreciate the time you took to guide us through the process. When you attend someone's memorial service or funeral you don't realize what needs to be done; when its your family member, there's quite a different perspective present. Your kindness, professionalism, and most of all, care and concern were obvious to our family. The Thomasville community is fortunate to have you and your staff to help others bid their loved ones farewell. Our best, Sheila and Ken Cone

Jimmy and staff, Thank you and all of the staff for the "going home' our Daddy would have wanted. From our pre-arrangement meeting with you to last Thursday's tasteful arrangements, we are truly grateful. Everyone was at peace with Daddy's passing, as he has wished for this for a long time. However, one is never prepared for the void left to deal with. It takes time to shed that pain and grief, but I can feel it happening a little more each day. It is my faith in the grace and mercy of the Lord that brings great comfort. Thanks again for your help, professionalism, and in sharing a chuckle with us. Thank God for a sense of humor. God bless you all. Carol & Phil
