Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that's why they're here. You'll have that gift forever." Funeral arrangements entrusted to Serenity Funeral Home, We listen, We learn, We walk with you.
