-Four years ago today, you bid no one a last farewell or even said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it and only God knew why. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts, you hold a special place no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.

As long as life and memory last shall remember thee. YOUR SON EDDIE For thoughtful guidance and the businesses listed below Seven Reasons to plan for a memorial advance No one likes to think about his own death, but failure to do so makes it more difficult on the bereaved family. 2. Choosing a family memorial is a joint decision.
Why should someone be forced to make it alone? 3. The worst time to make a financial commitment is when there has been a death in the family. By planning in advance, you protect your family from harassing telephone calls and high pressure sales tactics from some eager salespeople. 5. Advance planning assures that your insurance will be used for the needs of your loved ones.
6. Advanced planning assures a memorial of the quality you desire. 7. There is no such thing as an "expected death." The time to act is now. In Wagner WAGNER MONUMENTS 892-5505 brief illness.
