"It was the darkest day in my life when my husband of 55 years passed away. I didn’t know what to do or where to go but I knew I wanted him buried at Fairhaven. I called them and they put me touch with our Family Service Counselor. She helped and guided us with love and compassion.
Sincerely,
Jean Hamann & Family

To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me by sharon walker......................................... When I am gone, Release me, Let me go - I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be thankful for our beautiful years. I gave to you my love, You can only guess How much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone, So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a time we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, Call, and I will come. Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near, And if you listen with your Heart, you'll hear All my love around you soft and clear. And then, When you must come this way alone I'll greet you with a smile and say: "WELCOME HOME" In Lieu of flowers, please consider making donations in his name to a charity our father supported - The Disabled Veterans, www.dav.org read more...
