    While seated at my desk at Marshall High School, I held Juanita’s baby boy. She was so proud of him and I felt privileged.
    Juanita was a talented poet and such a special friend and student. My condolences to the family.

Funeral Pre-Planning

Today more than ever, people are choosing to pre-plan or prepay for their own funeral arrangements. Such planning helps prevent the surviving family members from having to make arrangements on short notice, reduces emotional strain and helps to ensure that the wishes of the deceased will be respected.
