There is no one better to tell their story than the one whom it is about.  Their favourite song on the radio, first tv show, foods, cost of living, colours or times that were valuable in shaping their character.

 

It is easy to take for granted the opportunities to remember those dates, memories, or what life was like at the time when you were too young to remember.    When they are gone, who do you ask? 

 

For most memorial services, there is only a week to prepare, contact family, make arrangements, all while dealing with grief. Don’t leave it till then.  Its okay to prepare now, and its actually a beautiful experience for your family.
