“The afternoon was beautiful; lots of lovely food, good company all sharing in some very special moments as the group released the balloons in memory of our loved ones.
Members of the Bereavement Support Group find it really helpful to just take time with friends and share in precious moments together, all experiencing similar emotions. I am extremely thankful for all those who helped and made the afternoon possible. I felt very privileged to share in such a special afternoon.”
