— Ram Vaidyanathan (about Gurdeep)
"When my father arrived at the funeral home she addressed him by his name and her respect was so very welcomed. She never rushed us and always offered tissues and compassion. Gurdeep and Rachel are irreplaceable, kind individuals who not only need recognition for being amazing and wonderful but have made our lives as a grieving family through such a distressing time bearable."

Gurdeep and Rachel are irreplaceable, kind individuals who have made our lives as a grieving family through such a distressing time bearable. As a family we could not have got through it without you two 'exceptional' ladies."
