Remembering those who have gone on before us!

Friendship, Loss, and Legacy Friendship inside a community like ours is never accidental. It’s built in the quiet moments — the shared purpose, the cups of tea after long days, the laughter that lifts us, and the compassion that carries us through the hardest nights. Some people arrive in our lives as volunteers, but they stay as family. Paul and Annie were exactly that.
