Remembrance Fund

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.

Since 2018, we have been allocating donations of this type to our REMEMBRANCE FUND.

This fund was created when we lost our dear friend, Edward Davis. We received many donations in his name, and with his wife, Kathleen an employee here at Crossroads, we decided to start a new fund to save for unseen needs for the future, something we had never done before, and would bring hope and breathe life into the future. Since then the account has grown, and we have listed the names of the people we remember on our website. 

We are in the process of creating a space on our new property to even better remember our loved ones who have gone before us. 

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.
