I immediately applied for graduate school at the University of Houston, and was accepted by my eventual dissertation chair, Dr. Art Jago; I began my foray into the international world with an amazing externship in a newly democratic Budapest, Hungary, and its own International Management Center. At the job, I met his Royal Highness, Prince Charles, who was interested in seeing democracy in action, and easing the transition from the Russian Communist Party rule. Perestroika and Glasnost were Russia's driving slogans, meaning "Cultural Openness" and Seizing the opportunity for radical changes, which could initiate economic growth by the making the offer of a profitable venture.

The McCormick family is buried here which so happens to be a prominent street name in Denton. Their graveyard was established in 1859 and there's people buried from Civil War time. There's also WWII and Texas Revolution veterans buried here as well. The pioneers of Denton and what made this town are the ones whose souls lie here. It's just cool to see old tombstones and to read about people. There were quite a few people who had died in a fire and I wonder if that was commonplace back then. This is also a chill spot that people go and smoke at night in. I've never done it but I imagine the spirit of Denton is cool with it.

I was a bit taken aback when a hearse arrived with two gentlemen who said they worked for a funeral home came to the door; then they quickly told they do pick ups for Lone Star. They were kind, polite and considerate. After I was notified, I drove to their facility to pick up my husbands ashes, and received the death certificates. They had also notified Social Security about the change in status, and I received SSA without any change in schedule. I highly recommend this company. I was able to make all the arrangements over the internet and pay with a credit card.

All I did was forward the previous emails to them and they finally got it. They dragged out the process so I have to wait 10-14 days longer than I should have to get the death certificates. They didn't guarantee a specific date, but their estimate of 7-10 days turned into two weeks. When I went to pick up my wife's ashes she was just in a paper bag on the floor with many others. Watching her haphazardly search through the bags on the floor was horrifying. I would not recommend their service to anyone.

In the midst of that pain, we were guided with grace, compassion, and extraordinary care by Martin Thompson & Son Funeral Home & Crematory in Fort Worth. What they did for our family went far beyond a service; they gave us comfort, dignity, and peace during an unimaginably hard time. Payton, in particular, was a godsend. From the moment she stepped in to help, she treated us with warmth and empathy that felt like an embrace. She didn't just fulfill her duties; she went above and beyond, staying in contact with us after hours, making sure every step of the process was handled gently, respectfully, and with deep understanding. When we learned that our mother would need to be transported from Houston; a four-hour drive away. Martin Thompson & Son didn't hesitate. They made the trip themselves, a gesture that spoke volumes about their dedication. Not only did they care for her transport, they worked seamlessly with the private cemetery where our family plot is located, ensuring every detail was handled with precision and grace. Perhaps the most touching act was Payton's careful, loving work in preparing our mother for a private family viewing. Because of the condition she was in, we didn't know if it would be possible to see her again in a way that felt peaceful. But Payton made it possible. She restored her in such a gentle, dignified way that we were able to say goodbye in peace, seeing our mother as we remembered her: serene, whole, and beautiful. I truly cannot say enough about the extraordinary care we received. Martin Thompson & Son didn't just provide a funeral service; they gave us compassion, attention to every detail, and a space where we felt supported and seen. They treat families with a level of personal connection and respect that is rare and deeply needed in times of loss. If you are facing the unimaginable and need a team that will walk with you not just professionally but humanely; this is the place. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you, Payton, and everyone at Martin Thompson & Son. You helped us carry the weight of our grief, and we will be forever grateful!!
