My Mom passed away unexpectedly in April. During this time, my family and I were in complete shock over this and didn't really know how to go about planning everything. Some of the smallest decisions were hard to make. Colton helped us through every choice we made for my Mom's service and did everything he could to make this easier for us.
My child was under 1 year old when this all happened and my husband and I didn't have childcare during my Mom's wake, so we had to bring our child there.

Sarah Pruett was an absolute blessing to our family. She worked tirelessly to arrange everything quickly, handling every single detail with the utmost grace, professionalism, and genuine kindness.

From the first time we met with Sarah we knew that Mom would be taken care of with love, care and respect. She put us as ease every step of the way, taking special care of our Dad who had just lost his wife of 65 years. The staff at Holmes Watkins went above and beyond to ensure the entire process went smoothly, and when it didn’t they worked quickly to get the situation resolved, all in a manner that kept us as ease. Our family would like to thank Sarah and the team at Holmes-Watkins for making this difficult time a bit easier.
