And in this difficult time, we are here to help families to the best of our ability with what is most important to them.

This is the seventh of a series of eight posts sharing helpful Covid-19-related information from Alan Wolfelt, Ph.D. #7 WE CAN HELP FAMILIES CREATIVELY MEET THEIR MOURNING NEEDS We serve grieving families, and even with so many restrictions in place, we are finding creative ways to help them honor their loved one and support one another in the days following the death. We are also helping them connect with technology and plan future gatherings.

An open letter to our Friends, It has become a tradition with Spence Funeral Services to host a Holiday Service of Remembrance the first Saturday of December for families we have served as well as others in the community that have experienced the death of a loved one. Unfortunately, due to the danger and uncertainty of COVID-19, we have decided not to organize and host a holiday service this year. Although the holiday service has been well-received and beneficial to those ...attending, the community’s health is equally important to us. Our hope and prayer is that our nation and world will be in a healthier condition next year and we can again host our Holiday Service of Remembrance in 2021. Regretfully, Bill Spence
