The loss of a loved one is probably the hardest thing any of us have to face in life. We understand the struggles, both practically and emotionally.
One of the dearest ways many people honor their loved one is by asking friends and family to donate to a favorite cause, in lieu of flowers. When people to this for Crossroads, we are always grateful for the blessing of the thoughtfulness and meaning involved.
These donations are instrumental in serving our students and families. We have been able to do more here because of this help.
A new opportunity to help us save for the unknowns of the future is our REMEMBRANCE FUND.
If you are at this point in your life, some sample text follows that you can adapt and use to distribute at your gathering of loved ones, or electronically, or place at the Funeral Home. Just copy/ paste and print out index-sized cards to place at the Funeral Home.
