Dear Ken & Anya,
Thanks once again for making my Dad's service so special. Your attention to detail and kind, caring manner made a difficult time a little easier.  Gratefully yours, Susan Rodriguez

Dear Ken and Anya,
I just wanted to thank you for last Monday. You both were extremely kind and understanding of what my family and I were going through...

Ken & Anya,
My family thanks you so very much for your help with the scattering of my husband's ashes off Coronado on Feb 26th. We had about 40 people on shore - and I was pleased that the boat was so easy to see. You both made a difficult time easier for me and my family. Thank you again for caring.
S. O.
