Mr. Robert Howie,was just the person that had just spent so much time making me feel so much better for my life.It is now complete to know that my wishes are taken care of once I pass . No burden on my kids and friends. I owe him so much for making a scary time the best and made me feel great walking out the door knowing we both are taken care of. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

A heartfelt thanks to Bruce Sessler and staff (especially Debbie Green) at Hiers-Baxley for making my Mom's funeral arrangements as stress-free as possible during a difficult time. Having an out-of-state service can be a logistical nightmare, however, Bruce took care of everything with compassion and kindness. His recommendation of Pastor Jerry Culpepper, when our Pastor of choice was not availble, proved to be a blessing. Mom's service was as she had requested and we could not have had a more caring provider.
