Our Legal Services
We’re sending a dove to heaven, with a parcel on its wings. Be careful when you open it, it’s full of special things. Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs, to say how much we miss you and to send you birthday love! A piece of us left with you, the day you went away! We miss and love you more than you could ever know Mom!
Love, Sammy, Crystal, and Mitch
5, 1943 ~ April 20, 2013
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. Now all we have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsakes, with which we’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts. Kiera, Glen Jr, Greg, Debra and Kelly 6th Year in Heaven

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.
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 area.
Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped into the next room I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way which you always used Put no difference in your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, Just around the corner. All is well.
-Henry Scott Holland
