It's been over 14 months since my son died tragically and unexpectedly, but I will never forget the kindness and compassion that Jim Stork showed to me and my family. An unexpected death of a young person requires extra compassion and attention (in my humble opinion). Jim knew just how to handle our situation, never pressured us about purchasing anything extra, price was so reasonable and he knew just what to say to comfort us. His building is quaint and feels more like a family home.
