We will miss our Jackie who was certainly a "Bright" light that was always present at the 12 Noon Mass at St. Jerome Catholic Church. We love you and will continue to pray our Rosary each Sunday for you and know that you are with us spiritually. Love and prayers always, Frank and Marguerite Allario

What our families say...

Altmeyer was incredible in their reliability and conscientious effort to detail. I personally worked from beginning to end with Joseph Limback. What an absolute blessing that was. From the first meeting we had a very easy communication path because Joseph took complete control to oversee our families welfare. Our family couldn’t have asked for better care and comfort of our love one.
