Several years ago, after my husband's liver transplant, I decided it was time for retirement. Shortly thereafter, I flunked retirement. I knew when I went back to work, I wanted to be associated with a locally owned, highly respected company which cares about our community. A friend from Quality New Mexico referred me to FRENCH. My first reaction was, "What? Are you crazy? A funeral home?" After meeting the management of FRENCH and hearing the FRENCH story and their mission, vision, and values, I thought, "I can do this!"

As one of several Advanced Planning Consultants, we have the opportunity to help people do something, which for many, is not an easy thing to do or even talk about. I always tell friends and family to get smart and educated about their options. None of us know our time or day, and this is not something you want to leave for your children and loved ones.

We are truly blessed in so many ways. My husband Ray brings joy and music into people's lives through his career as a professional musician. Hopefully, I bring a sense of peace, comfort, and trust to the families I serve at FRENCH.
