OBITUARY & REMEMBRANCE TRIBUTE FEATURE

During a family's time of sorrow, we want to reflect on the lives of those who have recently passed.

2) Sharing your loss with the community. The community should know that one of your loved ones has passed away. They might have known them and would like to share in your grief, reach out with condolences, prayers, offers of help, or tell you a story about your loved one that you didn’t know.

3) Help with the grieving process. Remembrance is an important part of grieving. Recounting that person’s history and remembering why that person was important to you and others will help you to get through a difficult time.

She’s in the sun, the wind, the rain, she’s in the air you breathe with every breath you take. She sings a song of hope and cheer, there’s no more pain, no more fear. You’ll see her in the clouds above, hear her whisper words of love, you’ll be together before long, until then, listen for her song.

4) History. Your loved one is a part of history. Future generations may want to know more about that person and their history. The American Press has been in the SWLA community for more than 125 years and is the local resource for learning about individuals residing in this
