Ratterman, especially Janet, our funeral director, made a very difficult time a little easier. She was always available, even on the weekend, helped us write a beautiful obituary a few minutes before the submission deadline, and guided us through this process that nobody likes to think about. They thought about all the details we didn't even consider and put together all the different moving parts for a service that truly honored our loved ones long life in the community. Thank you.
