Thank you guys so much for your service. The family and I were very satisfied with the way things were handled. I also want to thank Pastor Kevin Rigby for the eulogy. It was very inspiring and uplifting to me and my family. I pray God's blessings up you and the rest of the staff of Dante Jelks Funeral Home as you all continue to serve the people in need of your service.

The family of Rev. Dr. John Marshall Woods, Sr. would like to express our deepest gratitude to each of you for loving acts of kindness offered during this most trying hour. We assure you each card was read, each prayer received, each warm thought appreciated. We now pray that God will bless you for being a blessing to our family according to Genesis 12;13A, "And I will bless them that bless thee."

Our family thanks you for your professionalism, your thoughtfulness and personalism that was expressed to us during our time of bereavement. We were comfortable and happy with your work on our loved one. Although we will miss him and our hearts are heavy, we can smile knowing that he received great care while in your hands.

Dear Mr. Jelks and Staff,
This letter comes as a thank you for the final farewell services you rendered for my father on Saturday, January 5, 2019. I have searched for a thank you card that would be a small attempt to convey my feelings of gratitude and my indebtedness to you and your staff for all that you did for me and my family. I have come to believe that there is no such card as it is difficult to express how much I appreciated you all at the most difficult time in my life.

I will always remember the kindness, thoughtfulness, and compassionate manner in which you prepared me and my family, as well as my father for this final service. I also recognize and sincerely appreciate the exemplary level of professionalism and expertise you displayed and provided to us and for us. Your spontaneous response to accommodate the family members and friends that became a part of the service was outstanding. Your attention to details provided me and my family with memories that we will always treasure.

I want to thank you; I appreciate all that you did. Dante Jelks Funeral Home and the Staff are truly special people. I cannot thank you enough for all that you said and did.

You were a blessing sent to us when we needed one more than ever.

Sincerely,
Ellis Fowler

Words could never express the love and kindness you and your family showed us in time of our need. My heart will be ever so thankful.
