Memorial Day can be a tough one. One that triggers such grief and pain for a lot of people. [View all]

Be gentle with one another and take the time to listen.

Listening is one of the greatest gifts we can give someone. Don't be afraid to say the name of the deceased. Acknowledge their presence in the lives of so many when they were physically here.

Above all, take a moment to think of our fellow members who walk this path with us. It ain't easy . . .
