Dear Lin & Tobie @ Summit Ridge Wood Design,
I just wanted to thank you for your help and compassion during a terrible time for our family. The entire family was and still is devastated and we were trying to help my sister in law with some of the arrangements, when I was handed your website. I was impressed immediately. All of your products were beautiful and custom made, which was so important to the family. I believe I called you on Sunday or Monday, with a bunch of questions, and you were both so helpful. We were able to order the casket, with so many specialized details and it arrived in plenty of time for his viewing. I’d like to thank you again for the caring and compassion you showed to my sister in law when she called you about adding names and some other details. She was very impressed and felt so pleased with the finished casket. I would highly recommend your business to anyone in the native community who is dealing with the death of a loved one. Thanks again.

Dear Toby,
The casket that you made for Jack’s burial was so beautiful and perfect, words can’t express our gratitude. Your thoughtfulness and kindness helped us through our time of grief.

Good Morning,
I would love to help get the word out. First of all, I couldn’t tell you how much I appreciated your business. During our time of loss, we just wanted my grandfather to buried and put to rest in the most beautiful casket, which he very much deserved. After finding your website and contacting you we couldn’t have been more satisfied. The service was fast and very professional. At this time of grieving it seems to be so hard to deal with everyday functions but while dealing with your company you made me feel so comfortable and welcomed, I know I have never officially met you and your wife in person but it seems like we knew each other for years. I have been spreading the word to the local tribes in regards to your caskets. I would recommend to any one and everyone who will need to purchase a casket in the future to your company. Once again I couldn’t have been any happier with the awesome customer service. Let me know if I could further help? I will be willing to help in any way.
Thanks,

Dear Tobie & Lynn, a year ago my brother Lynn Patten and I laid our father to rest in the beautiful casket you made. Our pain was horrific but surrounding him with the things he loved…the picture of old Ute over his head and the wood of his beloved mountains made it better. I didn’t write then because the pain was to fresh. I write now o tell you that you are so appreciated by our family. My dad, Ray Patten, lived 91 years and now rests in peace knowing he is safely in the hands of our heavenly father and shielded on this earth by your creation.

Dearest Toby & Lynn, Thank you for your caring and thoughtfulness. It’s rare to find friends as priceless as you but you never know where or when a treasured person will come into our lives. Knowing you were there for us really helped lift our sorrow. Jeff’s and Nick’s hearts were less heavy after hearing from you. I thank the Lord my husband and brother have wonderful people like you in their lives.
Gratefully yours, McDargh and Tomada Families
Lin, We just received the urn tonight and it is beautiful! Exactly what we wanted. It brought a tear to my eye realizing how much my Dad would have loved it. Thank you again.
