“My heart is broken from the passing of my mom with cancer. I am doing my best to bandage and tape my little heart so I can keep going and take care of the rest of the family. My mother all her life would not talk about death because it upset her so much. Here we are with Moms 2 battles with breast cancer and the 3rd round was an aggressive cancer that riddled her tired body. Her Dr said to go home and call a family meeting to tell the news a parent never wants to tell her kids. Thursday we met with Mr Joe at Grose Funeral Home and gave the information on the obituary, funeral arrangements, and mom changed from a cremation to a “green” burial. My mom loved working in her flower beds so it was no surprise she wanted to go economical and not leave a carbon footprint. She will be buried on my grandparents farm overlooking a pond, creek, house she grew up in, and the barns and sheds. To make the picture even better are the blue mountains in the background. What a peaceful and soothing scene from a Bob Ross painting. My mom made it though the weekend and passed away on Mon at 9:30 in the evening. Bayada Hospice was called and set up the death assessment and called Grose Funeral Home. Miss Holly and Mr Paul were very professional and gentle during our families grieving process. They handled mom in the house with the utmost respect and took her to the Frozen Air BNB on the premises. The warmth and compassion they showed my mom and our family at 1 am was remarkable. We were all tired and exhausted from visiting mom all day and could barely keep our eyes open this late at night. Mr Joe emailed this morning and the obituary is done and updated, flower arrangements made, casket will be ready on Fri, and funeral times are locked in. No one wants to think about death and passing on to heaven, but I am so glad I had the Grose Funeral Home take care of all the small details while I grieve for my mom and my family. That’s what Mr Joe says and he is spot on. Thank you Mr Joe to you, Miss Holly, her helper, the Grose family, from my family to yours. Thank you for the respect, dignity, compassion, communication and heart felt sympathies to myself and my loving family losing my mom to cancer. You bandaged and taped my little heart, that my wound will heal over the loss of Mom. You are the EMTs of the families that lost loved ones. You use the EMT defibrillator to “shock” our families into living again and to celebrate our loved ones lives, not dwell in the past but look forward to our loved ones in Gods hands. Lord, please bless and watch over the Grose funeral home family, their employees, their families at home, and the clients and customers you support. May you wrap your loving arms around them as they take care of our loved ones with compassion and at a professional capacity that I have never seen or witnessed in my life. They are your servants taking our loved ones from the earth to Heaven in the most respectful way imaginable. Please keep all of our families safe and healthy as we start a new work week. Thank you lord for all the blessings you provide us in our daily lives. In your blessed name we pray, amen 🙏 Warm Regards Darren Erb 😢”
