August 16, 1940 ~ September 19, 2005
My experience with Meadowlawn staff and my Funeral Director Whitney was absolutely the best.
At such a difficult time in my life Whitney was not only compassionate and understanding but went out of her way to make me feel comfortable. She listened to every detail about my wants for My Mother's service.
Overwhelmed with appreciation, gratitude. Meadowlawn gave me peace of mind at one of the most toughest time of my life. Our funeral director Rachel Garcia made sure all our needs were meet, helping coordinate everything giving my mother the absolute best service she could have.
During the most difficult time of my life, Elizabeth was very compassionate and had patience at every point of contact I/we had with her. When entering the funeral home everyone was friendly and very professional.
I just had a very spiritual and enlightening experience with funeral director. (Ms R Garcia) She is very competent and professional. She worked with me since early morning hours. I am so grateful for every minute I spent with her She was very quick at resolving several issues we had and she was very fast at getting things done. Not only is she very professional, she is also very compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about the business.
Meadowlawn far exceeded our expectations. Their candor and grace were reassuring during my mother's passing. We had a small issue with a previous employee that was fully rectified. Mary's Garden was a beautiful option for our loved ones.
Words cannot express the gratitude we have for the staff at Meadowlawn. From the day our Mom made her pre-needs selection to the day of her final arrangements, we felt confident that we made the right choice. Sherrie’s compassion and professionalism gave us the comfort to feel Mom’s service was planned and handled with love.
Truly Thank You to Whitney, along with all included staff, at MeadowLawn Memorial and Kathy with the Aftercare program with all support regarding my loved ones arrangements and services. My family and I are very appreciative of your professionalism and sympathy during these times.
My family received excellent service and respect throughout this process. Ms. Watson was able to anticipate our needs before we knew what came next. I received comments from individuals on the program that Whitney called them by name and showed them where to go, etc. I second guessed myself which showed I was stressed. Ms. Watson asked me what I wanted to do and don’t worry about anyone else. This was huge! I felt so relieved after that I was then able to complete the task. I would also like to mention Raymond and Sam for their professionalism as well as Ms. Watson. Thanks
My husband and I would like to thank MeadowLawn Funeral home from the bottom of our hearts for going above and beyond to make Belo, our retired Military Working Dog’s passing services as smooth as they possibly could’ve been. Rachel Garcia took very good care of us and made me feel right at home and helped me cope with his passing. They did exactly what we wanted. We are blessed to have ended up meeting such wonderful people who show you they truly do care about you and understand what you are going through. I can not emphasize more how grateful we are for taking care of his services for us. We appreciate you and truly could not have chosen a better place for him.
Greetings from the Lee & Todd Families! We would like to extend our sincere THANKS to MeadowLawn Funeral Home! Our family has had the pleasure of working with the staff in planning the services for our loved ones! You all have been so helpful and understanding during this process. Your staff was so patience with us and we greatly appreciate everything! Special Thank you to Erika Reyes for taking time out of her day off to insure that the Cremation service was flawless!!!! Blessings, Bobby & Shelia Lee
My family and I send our sincere gratitude to the staff at MeadowLawn for helping us get through an extremely difficult time as smoothly as possible. We were so disheartened with other establishments we visited before finding Rachel and Ray with MeadowLawn. They were respectful of our wishes and really gave us a sense of security that they would handle things appropriately and allow us the space to give our attention to family. Everyone we encountered was genuine, comforting and committed to making sure the service met our expectations. Even beyond that, the tapestry blanket they did to commemorate my mother was so unexpected and appreciated. It was that level of personal attention that we felt so compelled to comment on.
Yesterday, I purchased my 5th cremation policy from Elaine Edwards when I went to pick up my sisters ashes from Miriam Garcia. These 2 ladies are the reason. They Both are caring, informative, and considerate ladies that make this process easier. I truly have appreciated both of them in the help they extended to me over the last several years. Thanks to both of them, they are exceptional ladies!!
On behalf of the Palomo family I want to say thank you to the entire staff at MeadowLawn for the compassion, empathy, and caring, they showed to our family during the loss of our beloved mom. The service on Saturday, August 3, 2019, was beautiful and noteworthy because of MeadowLawn's commitment to service and professionalism it contributed to a dignified memorial service. A special thank you for Mr. Betancourt for his professionalism and his attention to detail on the day of the service and I would also like to acknowledge Ms. Elizabeth Jimenez for her professionalism, compassion, and guidance in helping us plan the memorial service. The service provided exceeded our expectations! A heartfelt thank you to everyone!
On behalf of the Chapman Family, I want to thank MeadowLawn for the funeral and burial services that was provided on behalf of our mother, Ms. Billie V. Wells. Most noteably, Ms. Rachel Garcia's (Funeral Director) professionalism and knowledge guided and facilitated our efforts with ensuring that our mother was laid to rest respectfully and with dignity and class. There was absolutely no pressure placed on my family and I as she guided us through the various packages and options that MeadowLand had to offer. Her efforts were extremely noted as she facilitated the funeral ceremony and directed the burial process at graveside. She is surely a value-added member of the MeadowLawn team. I would recommend MeadowLawn to any Family seeking a professional, prompt, respectful, and courteous funeral home for their loved one. Thank you Ms. Garcia. You come highly regarded and recommended. v/r Kenneth M. Chapman Major Retired United States Air Force.
On Behalf of the Moreno Family I want to give a BIG Thank You to Ms. Kerri for holding our hand when we came to get things situated for “Honey” and a BIG Thank You to Ms. Rachel for walking us through the whole process for being compassionate caring and considerate of My Poppas feelings throughout this difficult time. You treated us like family and I truly appreciate that!! I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making this whole situation less stressful!!
From the family of Margaret Kittinger, I want to thank all the staff at MeadowLawn for their personal compassionate and caring service. My mother chose to take advantage of preparing ahead of time to save her children the added stress of planning things after she had passed. While still painful, what a tremendous weight it lifted off our shoulders when she did pass away. To the entire staff, staff from the agent that came to our home to help with the prearrangement, to the crew that came to get Mom when she passed, and the office staff that helped with the last of the paperwork......on behalf of my sisters and I, a very heartfelt thank you.

Hi Shericka, We will certainly miss Mike. My husband and I have spent many hours with Mike and Sally Anne and Donnie. Your dad went to our place in the mts with my husband for a week-end several years ago and he really enjoyed it. Mike made me laugh anytime we were around him. Take care and give that baby a kiss from me. Love, Barb Frank(Sally’s mother)
September 19, 2005 To Mike’s family and friends: We are so very sorry we could not be with you all to share in your grief in the passing of Mike; however, each and every one of you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. While Don and I are grieving for the emptiness we feel right now in our lives as a result of the void Mike’s passing has made, we are extremely grateful for the time that we knew him in this life as a tremendous friend and we want to celebrate the life that he lived. He was truly an inspiration to us in watching him in his relationship with his daughter Shericka. His world revolved around her as she was growing up and he was so very proud of her. He was especially pleased about having a new grandbaby. Although we had only briefly met the rest of his family, he was always speaking to us so very highly of his mother Hazel as well as sharing with us about other family members including his brother Robbie, his sons Mark and Thomas and his cousin Martha. He personified what an excellent employee was in the time that he worked with my husband in construction and in watching him at work at the Grandy’s Restaurant…always focused on quality and detail while enjoying whatever task he was involved in and friendly to everyone he came into contact with in the course of his workday. Mike was the best neighbor that we could hope for while we lived in TX…always willing to lend a helping hand…whether it be vehicle and tool maintenance (thank goodness for that because Don never worried about oil changes in the several years that Mike was our neighbor), house remodeling or making several trips helping us move to PA (and getting stopped along the way by the police with sniffing dogs because they though he was trafficking drugs or illegal aliens in our covered dump truck), knowing when to just listen and when to offer advise and just being there. His observations on daily events and enjoying the simple pleasures in life…the funnies, shopping for bargains, game shows, naps, cigars, visiting with the neighbors, his favorite foods—barbeque, Mom’s pound cake, Don’s lasagna, Sunday morning breakfasts with the neighborhood at the Golden Corral and lots of coffee were such a comfortable and predictable part of our lives with him. From the time that we first knew Mike in the mid 90’s he was always talking about wanting to move to his property in “The Country”. He was so excited going through the process of clearing it, moving a house onto it and making the renovations and addition to the structure. While living in Fort Worth we could always see that his goal was to move down there full time. The amount of energy he expended going back and forth from Fort Worth to ”The Country” to keep the project moving was a true indicator of his determination to move permanently to his little plot of paradise. But just as important to him (and maybe more so) than just the property was the people that he always talked about…Johnny, Barbara, Richard (and I know there were others…I just can’t remember the names) as well as the relaxed pace of living that he experienced there. As we rejoice in the simple pleasures of life and in our families and our friends, we are all part of a living tribute to Mike…holding onto the values which he treasured on a daily basis…family, friends and the simplicities of daily living. Each of us holds special memories of Mike in our hearts that will keep him alive forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time and we thank you so much for your support of Mike and all that he held near to his heart at this time and in the future…including his family, and especially at this time Sheicka and Jeremy, his 10 acres of paradise and his friends. God Bless: Don and Sally Rea
