This section includes both obituaries and memories. Honoring our loved ones who have died does not end immediately after their passing. We recognize that… so we’re extending our obituary section to include individuals who may have left a long time ago. If you want to remember someone who is gone, either recently or longer ago, please send a photo and a few sentences to [email protected].

Such a loss! What an amazing young woman she was. I will always remember her as someone who defined sweetness and who was present in a way that transcended her earthly years. That special eye sparkle & that smile……
Huge condolences to her family and our whole community. Her spirit will be dancing in the wind as it rolls off the ocean and over the tall grasses through the oak trees ♡ right next to olivia ♡

Coral

Because of you, others have laughed a little harder,

cried a little less,

and smiled a lot for no special reason.

Because of you, others have felt the warm of a special relationship,

and the gift of your love.

Because of you, our world is a much happier place.

Thank you for being you
