Simpson-Gaus Funeral Home ~ Kingston, New York ~ Caring Funeral and Cremation Services

Dear Mr. Gaus,

On behalf of my family, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to you for all you have done to help us through the loss of my father. Your patient guidance through the funeral preparations and proceedings was so very reassuring and helped me to focus on the comfort accessible in the divine wisdom of our faith. Your attention to detail in all you attended to at the funeral home, the church and the cemetery did not go unnoticed and made it possible for us to move through those two days with grace. Thank you as well to the men who acted as pallbearers. Most especially, your willingness to accommodate my wishes to allow us to have the funeral on Saturday was truly the best for my mother and for all who wished to attend the funeral.

Finally, your invaluable compilation of resources for the planning of the funeral mass allowed for it to become the solemn and beautiful culmination of my hope and prayer for my father, which was for him to part from us with Christ in holiness, peace, and dignity.

With my sincere respect and appreciation for your generous and loving gift to our family, and forever united in prayer,

MG & AG
