Testimonials

They took great care of my mom and my dad when their time came. Wonderful people, very caring and respectful.

We used chapel hill for my mother in laws funeral. They were very accommodating and everyone was kind. Her and her ex husband had bought a lot together and they let us divide them up so they didn't have to be buried beside each other when he passes. They were patient with us as we were younger and trying to figure the whole funeral thing out. It was a smooth experience which is what we needed at that difficult time.

This site is wonderful. The video tribute is especially lovely. What a wonderful option to have for those who are far away and unable to be there in person to share condolences.

Condolence From: Catherine Mabie
Condolence: I worked with Lee at Valley Insurance. She was always ready to help anyone and had a quick smile and laugh. I still think of her when I pass her old house wondering how she is. Now I know she is home and making beautiful music in heaven.

I was so sorry to hear about Lee's passing. I enjoyed her as a friend and always enjoyed her beautiful music. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Condolence: Lee was always pretty patient with the Handbell Choir. Sometimes we did try her patience, though! Most of the time, we would have some bad practices but good performances. One time, however, we were performing on Sunday and we started out so badly that she stopped us in mid-performance and had us start all over! Needless to say, we were embarrassed but we did pull it together! Gonna miss you, Lee, but now you're in "God's Choir."

Condolence: To Lees family. .. I worked with Lee at Valley Insurance for many years. She was a wonderful co-worker and friend. I also remember going to many Friday night Penn Football games attended with Lee and her brother-in-law. Sitting in Fort Wayne one Friday night and getting absolutely soaked during a downpour and enjoying a thermos of beverage to help keep us warm. Coffee, of course. I remember going with a co-worker to visit Lee in the hospital after her terrible car accident and seeing her in the "halo" and leaving the hospital and being so down when we went after after seeing and talking with Lee going away feeling better because of her wonderful outlook on the future. She was a wonderful musician and I enjoyed her music very much. She loved her family very much and spoke of you all often and her pride in your accomplishments. I mourn her loss here on earth but know that she is now making heavenly music with our Lord and his angelic Choir. RIP Lee.
