"As far as I can see, grief will never truly end. It may become softer over time, more gentle, but some days will feel sharp but grief will last as long as your love does, forever...It's simply the way the absence of your loved one manifests in your heart. A deep longing, accompanied by the deepest love. Some days the heavy fog may return and the next day, it may recede, once again. It's all an ebb and flow, constant dance of sorrow and joy, pain and sweet love"
A funeral service will be held at 9:00 AM on Friday, January 27, 2023, at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Peachtree City. The family will receive friends from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM on Thursday, January 26,2023, at the funeral home. Interment will follow the service at Westminster Memorial Gardens, Peachtree City.
