“Dear Holly,

 

I just wanted you to know it’s going to be hard to walk this journey without you. I now know you are my rock and I am finding out you are everybody else’s rock as well.  Everybody misses you and loves you as much as I do.  You left me too early in life. I know how strong, and compassionate you are to family and friends.  At this time I just want to let you know you touched so many people’s lives. I just want to say thank you.

Sincerely,

 

Your loving Husband.”

    Holly was such a gift & light in this world. She lit up any room she entered, and I know she loved her family with all her heart. Holly would write on my face book wall whenever we got a big snowfall, or when it was time to watch White Christmas. I loved sharing that. You will be missed so much. Praying deeply for her family.

    Holly’s deep love and care for her family is her greatest legacy. She reached out to me many years after high school graduation and I’m grateful she did. It gave me the chance to experience her witty humor and bright spirit again. Her absence is temporary – I truly believe she will be reunited with her beloved family in Heaven one day. Sending sincerest condolences.

Testimonials

December 1, 2023

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable. One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort. What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control. Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience. In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark, and broader, Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout . the entire process. – Epifanio and The Munoz Family
