	Obits & Guestbook

"We have funerals because someone lived and their life was worth remembering. Every culture known to humankind has devised rituals and ceremonies to deal with the troubling facts of mortality: that love hurts; that a death in the family, like a birth, must be observed; and that grief is the price paid for that love."

Leaving a condolence message and a memory of the Deceased can be a source of great comfort for the family but should not take the place of personal contact when possible.
