The JOURNAL

As my sister and I waded through the sea of black this morning, the air was tired and sad as the sounds of sniffles softly surrounded the sanctuary. We found our seats and looked around at many familiar faces both young and old. I looked down at the memorial program handed to me by a […]

Today was a day of laughter as well as tears. There was joyful dancing and friends all around. Jon and Gabriella started a new chapter in their story today…. and it was such a beautiful experience to be a part of. Here’s just a small taste for those who could not be here….
