During one of the most difficult times in a family, you need people with great compassion to help you through it. We found that compassion at every level at Thompson Funeral Home.

Athena Knop was phenomenal! She answered every phone call within a timely manner and was there for us every time we needed her. She also knew things we needed before we did. She is a very caring person.The receptionist, I don’t remember her name, sorry, was so nice even after my 10th call in a row.
