Bob & Staff,
 
I wanted to drop you a note to thank you and your staff for all that you’ve done that enabled us to place Pat to Rest in Peace on Friday.  You and your staff’s support and customer service in providing all arrangements including: having him transferred; selection of the site plots; and all funeral services were thoughtful, caring, and respectful during a very difficult and traumatic time for me and my family. Thank you so much.
 
A special thanks to you for allowing us to view Pat on Thurs. As you suggested, it helped us immensely during the grieving process and all of us were so glad we did so.
 
Would also ask you to pass on to Bill and his team for making things so seamless for us on Friday. 
 
Sincerely 
Noah Fetherston
  


Dear Bob and Catherine,

Thank you so much for the outstanding comfort and care you provided and all you contributed to help us create a very special and magnificent farewell for Dane.
 
Your love and care for God’s children and your devoted professionalism shines brightly in our imperfect world and reassures me that God is so good all the time sharing endless blessings and lessons of Love!
 
Thank you again for your outstanding services and for allowing Dane’s spirit to touch your hearts!

 A Special Thank You to Gilman Funeral Home:
 
Thank you for the wonderful service you provided for our mother, Jeanne Mattie. When we first inquired about your services, we got an immediate response; and from that moment on, you always went out of your way to ask all of the right questions and accommodate every request.We are grateful for the kindness and compassion you showed us during every step of the process, and we couldn’t have been happier with the final result. From the military honors, to the beautifully engraved sundial, to the wonderful DVD…everything was perfect.
 
We could not have asked for a better way to remember our mother and all she has meant to us all of our lives.
 
We will be eternally grateful for everything you have done, and we cannot tell you how much we appreciate your help making such a difficult time a little easier to deal with.
 
The Family of Jeanne Mattie

Dear Bob,
 
I want to thank you and your staff for all the support and help you gave all of us. Any question or request that any of us had was, and still has been, answered quickly.
 
Your many kindnesses extended to us here and while I was still in Florida are greatly appreciated and will always be remembered.

Thank you,

The Family of Stanley J. Chzaszcz greatly appreciated the understanding and professionalism of Robert R. Fournier, Jr. of Gilman and Valade Funeral Homes, and for providing the quality of memorial service Stanley deserved.
 
I would like to add a personal note of thanks to Bob Fournier for his kindness and understanding that he has extended to our family in such a difficult time.  His guidance during this part of our lives was nothing short of professional, courteous and kind. 
 
I would also like to thank all of the staff members who had assisted us with the passing of our mom (the late Emily Lafleur.)  I know most of them knew our mom and family and there condolences were not only respectful but personal as well.  Thank you very much.  
 
Respectfully,  
Phillip V. Lafleur
 


Dear Bob Fournier and Staff,
 
 
Thank you for the very professional and enjoyable service for my father, Dennis W. Cox.   I have the highest respect for the team at Gilman and Valade, as I have received so many compliments from viewers and attendees of the service stating how wonderful my father looked and the whole experience was like none other.  The atmosphere was warm and inviting, an environment where friends and family could celebrate the life of my dad instead morn in silence in a sad and dark room.   The creation of video montage, courteous staff and various cards and keepsakes were pieces of him I will keep forever. 
 
You and your team will always hold a special place in my heart.  As tears of joy are falling from my face as I write this note, I want to thank you for completing his circle of life in a manner he would have appreciated.  
 
Thank you all for making a difficult experience into moment to cherish.  To anyone needing your services, I would tell them that I highly recommend your company.  Wishing you and your staff continued success.
 
All my best,
Katherine Whalen Cox
