Laura, I am so sorry for your loss. I used to run into your Dad every 5 or 6 years or so at the oddest places and we'd chat. My condolences to you and your family.

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.
