Special thanks to the Sproles Family ...

I wanted to say a special thank you to the Sproles family who handled the funeral arrangements for my dad. We were blessed by the comfort they extended from the initial meeting to the cemetery where they were in the rain a good part of the time.

There were a couple 'beyond the call of duty' things that stood out (although it's difficult to list just one). During the visitation, they went to the store to get milk for our grandson, Rudy. What funeral home do you know that would provide that kind of personal service?

Also, Paula Sproles delivered breakfast to Rachel and family on the morning of the funeral. Evidently that is something that she does ... and quite a delightful surprise to families, I am sure.

Something else they do that is unique is their folder. Funeral homes typically have a small folder they hand out but nothing quite like this. Thank you again, Tom and Tommy and family!!! We were blessed.

Click on photos to see them enlarged -- also, the photo of the family on the right is the "crazy" photo that we always have done!! Mother's expression said, "I know the are doing something -- I just don't know what!"
