Frank, it goes without saying that you and your family are all in our thoughts and prayers today. I’m reflecting on the good times I had with Lucy for the last 16 years here at IRC. She sure loved our Wednesday night MayI games and rarely missed! Lucy made us laugh with her sense of humor. She was always organizing our MayI supplies and would be so frustrated when people messed them up! Sometimes when I would give her a ride home from cards we would sit in the driveway talking for another hour!! I remember when I went to River Bend golf course in Virginia and I was looking at the trophy case…..lo and behold there was a Ladies Club Championship trophy with Lucy’s name on it! Through the years of golfing with Lucy, I knew she was good but I didn’t know she was that good. She was pleased that I would send her a picture of it. I love my memories!

Thinking of you, Frank.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
