Testimonials

“It provided a comfortable atmosphere for discussing what can be an awkward/sensitive subject.”

“You are not alone with your concerns, your fears, your beliefs or non beliefs…you are on the journey with the rest of us. It is so good to be with others who may think or feel just like you.”

“This is not morbid or scary. It is just talking and discussing ideas we have, and thinking about how we would like our life to be wrapped up and honored with dignity and laughter.”

“This is something every mortal person needs to think about.”

“Just try it. You won’t be sorry.”
