On January 6,2006 my dad passed away,  it was very painful and difficult experience. As a person dealing with a loss of a person so close to you, sometimes we see it and don't think it will happen to us, But this experience has made me stronger person and has helped me to see life in a whole new perspective. In addition to his death we also had to plan his funeral and all of the arrangements we made a collage of all of his children and grandchildren and one of his sisters close friends and relatives. The wake was held at our church where many people attended and after that we kind of established a relationship with the funeral home employees they were very friendly, courteous, and companionate. One of the funeral employees even attended our church for some time after the funeral. This particular funeral home even helped us out with a payment plan and donated money towards the funeral seeing that my fathers death like I am sure many others was unexpected. I now see Life & Death in a whole new light I know we are here one day and gone the next it is a very difficult time in a persons life and there is nothing better than to have someone there to guide and help you in those hard times.
