"There's a place beyond the stars where life goes on forever - a place where loved ones meet once more and they are parted never. There's a place beyond the stars where cares and sorrows cease - a place of perfect happiness. And, may it help a little in your grief to know it's true, that in this place beyond the stars your loved one waits for you." www.ellestadfuneralhome.com (608) 437-5077
