-  "Upon the passing of my mother, Elaine Daniels, in October 2014, I found Jim and Sue to be two of the most caring and conscientious people to work with, while dealing with the pain and loss of my best friend and hero. I knew I could call any time, day or night, with a concern or a question.  Even months after the service, the Patrons did not hesitate to answering any questions or deal with any situation that a person does not think of during the funeral.  My sincere gratitude and thanks to Jim and Sue." Jean Daniels
