We appreciate these kind words shared with us, "I have never worked with anyone like Allen and Kitty Dugan, all the times I've been through something like this. They are so understanding, just down to earth people. We didn't know if we could afford everything we wanted to do for Bob's mother's funeral. Allen made some suggestions, and we still felt that we got done what we wanted. He even took time on a Saturday to meet at the cemetery to show us samples of stones that could work with the finances we had. They're great people, not 'all business,' just wonderful to work with, and seemed more like family!" -Linda and Robert (Bob) Huffaker
