Dear staff at Lakeside, Thank you for all you've done for us. My Dad looked great! Elaine Dear Staff, Sending my deepest Thanks for hosting the Dove & Balloon release on November 18th. This was the first time I felt I could attend a service to remember a loved one. It was touching & moving and I felt the presence of my loved ones with me. Tears came, but they were a cleansing for my soul. God Bless You for all you do to help us on our journey. Sincerely, Mary Mary Charles & Staff, Just a quick note of a "BIG Thank You" You & your staff have not only helped me through all my loved ones passing's. Until I was given the opportunity to work with you all, "death" just seemed to be the "final kill". You have taught me that death is in fact just another phase of "life" key word "life". My loved ones are here with me & will be forever in my heart. You have taken care of the souls of a us all. With all respect & love, Merry Christmas Candace Candance "I would recommend Charles as probably THE best in the funeral business. It's an unusual business to excel at, but Charles does it about as well as I think anyone could. Charles is creative, considerate, honest, and sees his mission through until the very end. He can work with just about anyone, and in the funeral business, customers are not always at their best. Employ him as your funeral director and you won't be sorry." Colleen We would like to sincerely thank everyone at Lakeside for all their help and sympathy during my mother's wake and funeral. Your staff did a wonderful job, and of course we thank Mrs. Castiglia's very much for her heartfelt expressions of love and friendship. My father was very pleased with all of the arrangements, and for that I thank you! Mary Mary
