    My memories of Bill will live on in me. It was a privilege to walk beside him. I knew a man of deep faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Whenever Bill struggled with an idea, he'd eventually thank God for his many blessings..and he never forgot to say "I love you." So no matter what we face, for Bill's sake, whenever we grow weary never forget to praise God and say "I love you!"

    My deepest condolences to the Batterman family. Bill was such a sweet man and a pleasure to work with over the years. He will truly be missed but never forgotten!

    Dear Batterman Family, your dad was such a special man and in many ways reminded me so much of my own father that I lost as a young adult. He filled that void for me while I worked at Liberty Square and we continued to keep in touch after. He was very wise, very kind and had a lovely smile. May you find comfort in your memories and know that he loved you all so much!

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
