  3. Many years ago we talked on the phone.
    We actually never met in person,But we never missed a Christmas card.
    We both were in purchasing a couple thousand miles apart,but as fate would have it.
    We both had the same vendor needless to say the vendor was confused having two Edward Kaloustian’s as customers.
    I called him and we had a great conversation.
    Rest In Peace my friend.

    God bless you and your wonderful family.

Thank you Jim Geils

To all the families that have supported my father, Jim, throughout his 45 years as a funeral director, I hope you will continue to let me serve you moving forward.

Filling my father’s shoes, will not be an easy task and something I will forever strive for; however, he has given me the knowledge, guidance, experience and lasting relationships within the funeral industry that will hopefully make this transition possible.

He was my confidant, superior but mostly my biggest fan. I know he will be with me always, leading and guiding me to be the best funeral director I can be.

I will continue my father’s legacy as best and for as long as I can, with your love, help and support.

Sincerely,
Monica Geils Conroy
Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer
