I really appreciate everything that you have done for our entire family. Your professionalism and warm spirit has helped us make it through.
There are no words that can describe what you have done for us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
 

Adam Kleiven

The obituary on your website turned out lovely with the picture.  Thank you for helping us with everything.  You have been so kind, caring and professional in your assistance.  We are doing well, just taking a day at a time.
With gratitude,
 Rita

Dave,

I just wanted you to know that my mom and I stopped by and saw the head stone.  The stone work turned out very nice, and the installation crew did a good job placing it.

Thanks for all your work on this endeavor.

Best Regards,

Kurt

Hello Dave,

 
Thank you again.  Everything went well and made this difficult time much easier to bear.   Thank you again for your excellent care, kindness, abilities. 
 
Pam Edwards

 

I want to thank you for everything.  It has been a pleasure...in a difficult time....dealing with you, as it was with Chuck when we set up the arrangements a while ago.

Best to you and yours,  Jill Onewein

Hi Dave,
The family and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of
you for how smoothly the serve went yesterday.
 

Liz Thylin
 

Hi Dave, 

 
We were very pleased with everything. It was the right place, and the right people, and music, and flowers, and food, and everything. My Dad would have been very pleased, and very proud of our family. He would have said oh you don't have to do anything, but in his heart he would have been very pleased that we did.
 
And the reason I say that is that we couldn't have done it without you. Oh it would have been physically possible, but it would be have been miserably stressful, and we would have made all kinds of mistakes. You did it with poise and kindness and a real sense of style.
 
So let me thank you very much, on behalf of our whole family. It was a lovely end to a difficult but dignified event in the life of our little tribe, and we'll always remember your part with gratitude.
 

Thanks again, and best regards,
 
Carolyn McCool

Mr. Cook,

With my father, Richard Reynolds' recent passing; I had been very nervous
and anxious with the thought of visiting the funeral home; however you
made it bearable and comfortable to say the least. If you recall the day
that we visited your facility I had concerns about his
appearance.......but in the end I was very pleased.

I want to thank you for the services you provided to our family!

Sincerely,

Billie J. Reynolds

Dave,

I didn't get a chance to tell you how much I appreciate your help. You made a big difference and it was really easy to work with you. Thank-you a million times :]
-Shayna Reynolds

Dear David Cook and Staff:

I just wanted to write a note and thank you for all the arrangements concerning my father (Don Gibson).  You did a wonderful job and should be proud of your work.

Dave,
 
I wanted to thank you for the meeting we had today. You were very kind and obviously run a very professional business built on principles of respect and care for the people you’re helping. We were all very impressed.
 
Thanks again, and we'll talk soon,
 
Carolyn

Hello Dave,
Thank you for handling the arrangements and for the services you are continuing to provide. Our family was so pleased and grateful for all that you did.

Thank you!

Dave,

You did a wonderful job on Saturday and I was very grateful for your
professional and caring manner.

Thank you again from the Reese family.

and the Rapada Family
Dear David,
You asked me to let you know when to forward me the archived copy of the obituary and "guestbook" for which friends and family submitted email comments, and I'm doing so now. I'm so grateful for your having this feature because it reached out to those who might have hesitated to call (former students of Art's) or those in Spokane that I didn't even know, but who shared part of their lives with Art. My daughter, Maggie, and I have appreciated your availability for questions and your professional caring. Thank you.
Inge Reese

Dave

I wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else. Thank you. Under the circumstances, my mother really enjoyed working with you she had some good laughs. Thanks for making it go so smoothly.

Regards,

Stuart
Dear DaveThe marker turned out perfect and the installation went well. Thanks
for your help. I have found you easy to work with and would not
hesitate to recommend your services.Thank you, Suzan

Many, many thanks to each of you for helping provide a memorial service for Louise Shields.
To Charles Weaver for organizing the graveside.
To David Cook for professional and supportive services.
Sincerely,

Pastor Don Jukam
Dave,
Paul and I went by (separately as our schedules would permit) to look at the marker today. It looks GREAT! We are both VERY pleased with the final product. Thank you for all your kindness and help in this whole process! Our hearts have been greatly touched by the way you have dealt with us from the very beginning.
Love,
Chris and family

I appreciate all you've done for my Dad and for me...everything for Bonnie and my Dad has been handled with professionalism and compassion and I want you to know it is noticed and appreciated.   - Valla

Dear Dave,
 ...your sincere, consoling professionalism made a difficult process much less stressful for all of us.
As a result, our family has been able in this last week to focus on our father's life rather than the sometimes overwhelming decisions that had to be made upon his death. Your calm presence and caring, professional demeanor under such difficult circumstances do you great credit. I can't imagine how we would have gotten through the last week without your invaluable guidance and assistance.
John Wieben

Dave,

Thank you -- for the one thing you don't want to have to deal with in life, you certainly made it easier. Barry and I appreciate your kindness and all the efforts you made to handle so many issues. I know that is your job but I was glad to have someone professional, patient, and nice.

Best Regards,

 Dee

You did a wonderful job for us, and we will always remember the personal touches that you made.  As many have told me, yours is a business that takes a special person, and fortunately for us you are that person!!!

Hi Dave, 

Thanks again for your part in this transition our family is experiencing.  You truly made a difficult situation easier, and I am thankful you were there to help us through this time.

            Best Regards,

                                    Kurt


Dave –
I’d really like to thank you for all of your kindness. Frankly I don’t know how we would’ve been able to get through it all, and manage all of the terrible and difficult details without you.
Again, thank you so much for everything.
Kind Regards,
Caryn.

Hi Dave,
Although I was only an observer on the sidelines, I just want to compliment you on your professionalism...with the addition of such a warm and caring personality. I was very impressed with how comfortable you made the family feel. . . and how perfectly everything fell into place in such a short time. And congratulations on the name change. I hope you and your family are enjoying your life here on Bainbridge. It has been a wonderful place for us to spend our lives, and I hope it will be for you, too.
Pat

Dave,

Thank you so much for going to bat for us last night with UPS. Although we would have been okay with the cherry one we were very happy to know that they are in the matching ones that Dad picked out. The interment went off without a hitch. My kids did some readings and a prayer and we played a song and it was very nice, pretty much perfect. Thank you again for going the extra mile for us.
Best,
Anna Du Pen and family


David,
Just wanted you to know how pleased I was to see the wonderful way you placed my mother's obituary on your company's website. Thank you for being so kind during our difficult time.
God Bless you,
Sincerely,
Steve McCroskey

I just wanted to thank you for all of your help in my time of need...
The tragedy that befell my family was already a big burden to deal with, but I sincerely appreciate your efforts in meeting with me and making it as smooth as possible for me.
Thank you so much!
Daisy
