November 10 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am
At the end of our lives, what do we most wish for? For many, it’s simply comfort, respect, love.

On this day of prayer and remembrance for those we love and see no longer, who better to hear from than this deep thinker about how to create a dignified, graceful end of life.
