"Reverend Sansbury was very helpful to my family as we planned a memorial service for our father. Upon meeting Ed, we knew that we had made the right choice. Ed spent time with immediate family members and even more distant relatives in an effort to get to know our father. Due to his efforts, he was able to write a eulogy that was meaningful and hopeful for all who attended the service. He went above and beyond in helping us to choose scripture passages and music selections. I am so thankful that we found Ed, because he helped transform a painful time for my family into a special time of remembrance." - Tina
