You made the ceremony in Union Grove go smooth as silk, and we will definitely look at the lovely catalogs you sent to us. The church proceedings went very well also.

I used to think that loss was something easy. Something simple; cut and dry. Something you felt and…read moresort of just sat in for a while and then in some time you would be fine. Loss is such a weird thing. Early in life it is easy. It starts small. The loss of a favorite toy. A favorite pair of jeans or shoes. Maybe the loss of a favorite car. Even the loss of an early romantic flame seem so easy. Sometimes things that are lost can be found. Other times, the loss of things can be prevented all together. But still, mostly, loss is permanent. I think this is why when a loved one is lost to death it's the hardest thing to accept. On what has become one the hardest days of my life the image of my dad and his loving demeanor was not lost. I'd like to thank the staff at Prasser-Kleczka for all of your truly amazing work; through our Lord Father God Almighty you gave me the best gift I could've ever asked for after 2021 gave me the worst surprise of my life. The service was so beautiful and everything was just so perfect. It was such a peaceful and gentle way to celebrate and say goodbye to the wonderful man my father was. You gave me a truly great last memory of my dad. He looked so at peace that day. I truly cannot thank you all enough for giving myself and my family the most incredible-better-than-best-possible last day with this man who is so dearly loved and cherished and so terribly and sorely missed. May God Almighty bless and keep you and all your friends, families and loved ones all the days of your lives! Thank you, again!

So how do you become a fan of a cemetery? I don't know but I guess I am. I have worked with…read moreWoodlawn for the past three years through Cub Scouts and my son puts flags on Veterans plots in preparation for Memorial Day. It is something I find important and my son learns the value of respect. I met the gentleman who runs it, for the first time and he is phenomenal. He is very kind and I apologize I cannot remember his name. They are very accommodating and helpful. Told us lots of good info about the cemetery and some of the people that are in it. Interesting facts. We were invited back to be part of a ceremony on Memorial Day to lay a wreath and do a role call for the absent soldiers that have passed in the last year. There was a beautiful service with white doves and a balloon release at the end. I'm so happy to finally have met the nice man that runs it and we will be returning next year to help out again. The park is very nice with great paths for walking. Very clean and well kept.
