I haven’t seen Sharon in many years but when Christopher was little we hung around a lot in Batavia. She was so nice and sweet to me and we had a good time. I moved to Florida and saw her one more time. God bless and I’m so sorry. Lynda Green Kane.

Dear Family. Sharon was my neighbor (Wood St), growing up and she was a fixture in our home during my teen years. She was a tough cookie, but told it like it is. She will be missed and you have my deepest sympathy during your time of grief. She had unconditional love for her father Savie and her children and grandchildren. You are all in my prayers. Gif bless you….Michelle

Louise was an inspirational Woman of God. Her love for Jesus, her husband and her family was very real to anyone who knew her. "Her children rise up and bless her, Her husband also and he praises her saying, " Many daughters have done nobly but you excel them all." Rejoice is your reward, Louise.

T.J. - Words can not adequately express the comfort you brought to my family and me during a very difficult time. My dad's passing has reminded me how blessed we are to have grown up in a place where friendship, loyalty, and personal history mean something. I don't know if you will ever fully know how deeply grateful I am to you for meeting us late the night we lost our dad, so I could say goodbye to him. I will forever hold that kindness you extended close to my heart. May God continue to Bless you and your family.

I cannot express the gratitude I have for how well you cared for my dad and our family. You made this difficult time easier for us to manage. Every time I called, your response was, "sure, let me take care of that, and i will get right back to you." Dad would have loved how well you handled every detail and all of our needs. I truly appreciate you and your kindness.

Thank you for your professionalism and kindness in handling my fathers funeral. It was a great comfort to me and my family to know Gilmartin Funeral Home was there for us during this challenging time. Personally, I also appreciated your guidance with regards to details- such as flowers, connections with the church, mausoleum, brunch, etc. Batavia, New York is fortunate to have you and your company as part of the community.

On behalf of my brother and sister, I wanted to take a moment to thank TJ and all of the staff at Gilmartin for their support and assistance at such a difficult time. They were all highly professional and very sensitive to our needs and helped us navigate the myriad of decisions that needed to be made in such a quick manner. TJ especially was constantly available to answer questions or offer suggestions. It was nice to know that there was not one thing for us to be concerned about after our first meeting with him! I am very grateful and fully endorse their services.
