I was able to help, but this Memorial Day is turning out to be the worst ever.

No family gatherings to help us all laugh and put the pain of lost Loved ones aside for a few hours.

But please keep this in mind,” It is always darkest just before dawn!” Or, “ This too shall pass!”

Keep HOPE Alive! Trite, but true.
