As we close the chapter on 2025, we find ourselves reflecting with profound gratitude on the sacred trust you have placed in our Cumberland Valley and Johnson Funeral Homes family. To each family who allowed us to walk alongside you during one of life's most difficult journeys, we say thank you from the depths of our hearts.
It has been our greatest honor to serve you during times of overwhelming loss and grief. We recognize that inviting us into your family's story during such a vulnerable moment is a privilege we never take lightly. Your trust in us to care for your loved ones with dignity, respect, and tenderness has been a responsibility we have carried with the utmost reverence.
Throughout this past year, we have witnessed the strength of the human spirit, the depth of love that binds families together, and the beautiful ways you have celebrated the lives of those who meant so much to you. Each service, each memory shared, each tear shed has reminded us why we do what we do. Your resilience in the face of heartbreak has inspired us, and your grace during difficult times has humbled us deeply.
We have been moved by the stories you've shared, tales of laughter, love, sacrifice, and legacy. It has been our mission to provide not just services, but comfort, empathy, and compassionate support when you needed it most. We have endeavored to create spaces where grief could be honored, memories could be cherished, and healing could begin. If we have been able to ease your burden in any small way, then we have fulfilled our purpose.
As we look ahead to 2026, we renew our commitment to excellence in everything we do. We will continue to serve with the same dedication, care, and compassion that has guided us through this past year. We will be here, ready to listen, ready to support, and ready to honor your loved ones with the respect they deserve and your family requires during life's most challenging moments.
May God bless and keep each of you in the palm of His hand. Our heartfelt prayer for every family we have served is that the new year brings you peace that surpasses all understanding, prosperity in all areas of your life, an abundance of good health, and blessings beyond measure. May you find comfort in cherished memories, strength in your faith, and hope for the days ahead.
We are reminded of the beautiful promise found in Psalm 147:3, which tells us: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." May you continue to experience God's healing presence in your life, and may His love surround you and sustain you in the year to come.
Thank you for allowing us to serve you. Thank you for trusting us with your most precious memories. Thank you for becoming part of our extended family. We carry each of you in our hearts, and we look forward to continuing to serve our community with honor, integrity, and unwavering compassion in 2026 and beyond.
With deepest gratitude and warmest wishes for a blessed new year,
The Staff of Cumberland Valley and Johnson Funeral Homes
