There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from
Heaven...and spend the day with them just one more time, give them one more hug,
kiss them goodbye or hear their voice again.
One more chance to say …. I Love You

6. In Loving Memory
It's estimated that 1 in every 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience some form of
domestic violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime. Even though an estimated
12 million people are victims of domestic violence each year, most cases go unreported
to law enforcement. While 85% of domestic violence victims are women, it's important
for all people to know how to help someone in an abusive relationship or situation find
help.
