Re: Delores Eleanor Hart Service
To the Employees of WHB,
I wish to thank you again for the kind, sympathetic, and professional service for my wife, Delores Eleanor Hart who passed away December 19, 2023.
Taylor Beck did an outstanding job. She is a true professional for which our family will be forever grateful. She is that rare person in this age.
We have told our friends of the kind funeral you conducted.
Thank you again..
Sincerely,

You have been simply the greatest help to our family—

Dear Hatch, & all the staff of Wilkirson Hatch Bailey Funeral Home, thank you for your integrity, compassion, professionalism, support, love, (caring for our family & friends (& everyone) with Dad’s death on December 18, 2010. I was 100% at ease with the various dynamics and logistics and never needed to blink an eye, worry, or second guess. From the time of Dad’s death, I already knew he’d be in great hands with your help and trust. Thank you. May this Christmas offer hope, peace, faith.
Hatch, I don’t know what to say - we are so blessed to have you as a friend and so glad it was you by our side during this unspeakable grief. Your love and guidance enabled us to have an amazing tribute to our son - we will never forget and would have never been able to get through without you - there are no words. Just love

Taylor Beck is by far the most phenomenal human being. She is incredibly dedicated to her profession as a funeral director—she instantly made me feel confident in my ability to do my cousin/best friend’s hair/makeup/nails for her funeral, because I was so afraid I wouldn’t be able to do it. Taylor stayed in constant contact with me from beginning to end—offering helpful information and support; and her time after hours to accommodate me having to drive into town from Dallas—she didn’t have to do that and I’m just so grateful. The funeral home itself is beautiful the support staff were kind and attentive but Taylor went above and beyond. I am eternally grateful to her for helping my cousin’s husband and my aunt navigate this difficult transition to heaven for our Leesa by communicating effectively, and with delicate attention to the little details because they matter. I was told this funeral home was chosen for Leesa’s services because it is the best. Taylor made it the best for us!! I highly recommend Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey! Ask for Taylor!

Taylor was incredibly compassionate and caring. She made the entire process as simple as possible under difficult circumstances. We could not have asked for more. From Chuck Anderson (Loraine Anderson’s services)
In an extremely tough time in life my family is forever thankful for Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey. Every single person I had the pleasure of encountering with was nice, caring and compassionate. The visitation & funeral were absolutely beautiful the attention to detail was amazing. The building is beautiful, clean & has a calm feeling. My family will forever be thankful for the funeral director Taylor Beck. She was AMAZING! She helped with everything every step of the way even the tough stuff, she answered any and all questions I had and kept me informed on everything happening. She is genuinely caring. She literally did everything & more. My grandmother would have been very pleased with her home-going. She looked so beautiful and peaceful. Thank you so much Taylor & the whole team of Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey. Also amazing that they have an aftercare program available at no cost. Our family would recommend Wilkirson-Hatch-Bailey.
From Savannah B. (Gladys Colley’s services)
Taylor, thank you again for all you have done for our family, your understanding, kindness, heartfelt words of comfort. We don’t feel your presence was random. We believe in our hearts God sent you as one of His closest servants on Earth to minister His word to us in our time of grief. Please know you made a difference!! We are praying for you, Taylor and your family. In Christ, The Harper Family
P.S. Enclosed, gift for Taylor
Dear Bill,
The Chernoff Family is much appreciative in the overseeing of the lovely service you helped provide for Philly Herbert. It truly captured the Jewish Tradition and carried out Phil’s wishes, in his departure from this world. We are so glad you personally knew Phil and took such care in all details for this beautiful service. Thank you for all you did for Philly Herbert.
Best wishes,
The Chernoff Family
Bill, thanks for all you and the staff did for us! Phyllis and I and family really appreciated it!

Uncle Bill,
How can I ever thank you enough for all that you did for me & my family? You made me feel so special and loved. You went the extra mile on everything you did. Of course, that’s the person you are... kind, generous, warm, and hospitable. I am so blessed to have you as my friend.
Love you,
Darlene
Dear Bill,
How can we put into words in a small card how grateful we are for all you did to make the funeral process so much more bearable? At any time your kindness was palpable and the efficiency of your team gave us such confidence. At a time when our emotions are raw and we can barely make a decision, the job you do is invaluable. It was especially meaningful to work through these things with someone who knew our mother, grew up with us and with whom we worshipped regularly. Thank you for your kindness, constancy, expertise, and presence.
Love, Nancy, Edie & Tony
Bill,
Our family would like you to know how much we appreciate everything you did for us. Your kindness made us all feel very comfortable and you made the process easy and smooth for us all. Thank you for being so caring.
