Join us in celebrating Montina Dorsey-Collins, who recently celebrated 7 years with Everstory! 🎉

As a Sales Counselor at Valhalla Cemetery, Montina has dedicated her career to supporting families with compassion, care, and understanding during life's most difficult moments. Her commitment to serving others extends far beyond her role, creating meaningful connections and providing comfort when families need it most.

One of the most rewarding parts of Montina's journey has been supporting families experiencing infant loss through her involvement with organizations that provide resources, counseling, and memory boxes. Her kindness and selfless approach have made a lasting impact on countless families, with some affectionately referring to her as "Mama Tena," a reflection of the trust and relationships she has built over the years.

Montina believes the greatest reward comes from helping others, and her dedication to making a difference shines through in everything she does.

Thank you, Montina, for seven years of compassion, service, and commitment to the families and communities you serve. We are grateful to have you on the Everstory team! 💙

Join us in celebrating Kandice Wallace, who recently celebrated 13 years with Everstory! 🎉

Since joining the Crestwood Memorial Cemetery team in 2013, Kandice has grown from a telemarketer into a lead administrator, dedicating herself to serving families and supporting her colleagues every step of the way. Her commitment to learning and professional growth continues as she works toward earning her degree in funeral service education and becoming a licensed funeral director and embalmer.

When she's not working or studying, Kandice enjoys reading, playing video games, all things Disney, and spending time with her husband and German Shepherd.

One of her favorite Everstory memories is celebrating with her team at last year's holiday party, a special opportunity to connect and have fun together outside of work.

Thank you, Kandice, for 13 years of dedication, compassion, and service. We are grateful to have you on the team and look forward to all that's ahead! 💙
