Jennifer was a absolute God-send to me and my family. Durning the most difficult days of our lives, she was a constant source of help and strength. From the beginning, she advocated for our family, really trying to make the day a celebration of Derian's life. We cannot express our gratitude fully, but know that Jennifer will always hold a special place in our hearts for takling such good care of us and for Dad. We miss him everyday, but being able to look back on his funeral is really a source of comfort.

My sister and I want to thank you and your staff for all of the things that you did for us last week. We were extremely impressed with the professionalism and understanding that each of you provided during our time of grief.

Debbie and I knew that we were in good hands when we had our meeting with you to select the various funeral items for our mother. You made us feel comfortable with our choices. When we left your office, we left knowing that everything would be taken care of. For that, we thank you.

During the viewings and the funeral ceremonies, your staff was always there to provide solutions to any problems that arose. Every task was performed to absolute perfection, but we were always asked for permission before any task was performed in case that we needed some extra time for any reason. We never felt rushed in any way. Please pass along our gratitude to your staff for us. We cannot say thank you enough times.

The death of a loved one leave a void no one can fill. You don't know which way to turn or what needs done and how to do it.

My family and I are so glad that we chose Bauer Funeral Home to handle our arrangements for my husband and father, Charles "Chuck" Lasher. He was a wonderful husband, father, pap and brother, and he deserved the best.

Josh Starr came the night my husband passed. He was very professional but still friendly. We met with Josh the next day to finalize arrangements for Chuck. What I thought would be a terrible ordeal was made bearable with Josh's knowledge and help.

Jack met us the day of the viewing and he too was very nice to us. You could tell he cared about you and wanted us to be comforatable through this.

Chuck looked very handsome; you did such a nice job. The flowers were arranged nicely and every now and then someone would come to ask me if I needed anything. That this true compassion and caring. I want to say there was not one thing I could say that wouldn't be good. You are all in the right business. Thank you for taking care of us! I will sing your praises to anyone that listens.

Norene Lasher, Mike Lasher, Tammy Reitler and Chuckie Lasher
