    Dear Jane and family,
    I send my sincerest condolences for the loss of your mom, Gladys. I have fond memories of visiting you and Aunty Gladys and Uncle Joe on summer holidays when we were kids. We have not seen each other in years, but my memories of you and your mom and uncle Joe are very vivid.
    May your memories and the love you shared with your mom sustain you through these difficult times.
    Sending you and your family, love and light
    your cousin, Teresa and husband Ken.

    Dear Jane and family –
    I am heartbroken at the passing of Gladys. We shared so many laughs and wonderful times together. We often said if my old blue car could have talked it would have had many tales to tell after listening to us as we drove to and from work together for so many years. Please know you are in my heart and in my prayers and Gladys will forever be in my heart. Sending you and your family a big hug – Irene Hayes

    So sorry to hear this news. My sisters and I would have come to the funeral from Salmon Arm if we had known. The last time I saw Gladys was about two years ago at the Women’s Retreat in Ashton Creek and we had a great time getting reunited as cousins and taking about the Eckstadt Family Tree. Gladys was a wonderful Christian lady, touched many people in the church and at her work and had such a lovely smile. My sincere condolences to all of the family.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
