      I love your story Judy. What a great example your ganadprrents are not only for you but now for all those who you have shared their legacy with (like me!). Coming from a family that didn’t realize their relationship with the Father and certainly didn’t pass on any spiritual traditions to me I can take your ganadprrents example, as you have, and let it enrich my own spiritual walk and legacy. Thank you so much! That gave me a boost for the day! Blessings Judy!

    I have many good memories working with Brother Weiss at the Church building in Waterloo. He was such a good man, and was such a blessing to me. We will pray for you All, and may the GOOD Lord comfort you.

    Dear Marilyn, Tante Hilda and family
    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many happy memories at your home. Looking back, I am amazed at how patient and loving your dad was to 2 giggling girls. How he so kindly scrubbed the side of the neighbour’s house after we use it as target practice with overripe cherries, on trips listened to endless renditions of “Down by the bay”….
    May God strengthen and comfort you during this time.

    Liebe Hilde und Familie!
    Wir denken an euch. Möge Gottes euch den Trost in dieser Zeit schenken. Aber wir dürfen auf die Hoffnung glauben, des Wiedersehens im Himmel.
    Denke noch an früherer Zeit wo ich mit Erich zusammen war, in der Jugend, gearbeitet, gegessen und auch gewohnt in Essen, sowie auch in Winnipeg. Wie schnell vergeht die Zeit. Möge Gott euch als Familie recht Nahe sein.

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.
