Death is never comes on time, but there are individuals who make the most of the time they have. Today, we want to love, honor and cherish a few people who have graced this planet with passion, purpose and left an imprint on our lives.
In memoriam will be a monthly dedication to those we have lost and a reminder to those of us still here that life is precious and not to be taken for granted. Please remember to live your life to the fullest, help as many as you can and always love and cherish your loved ones…..they won’t be around for ever.
