My eldest son Shawn transitioned at the young age of 36.
Tami , Mary and the rest of the team has gone above and beyond helping our family deal with his passing.
Everything we requested was granted and even things we did not think about the suggested.
On the day of his viewing Tami came in one her day off to be with us, her team on duty were super phoneminal.
We were truly blessed to have Tami and her team by our side through this sad event.
On behalf of the entire Khan family ( not just blood family ) , from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you for everything you did for us.
May all of you forever be blessed for what you offer grieving families.
Endless love and respect.
