With heartfelt gratitude, we would like to thank the Nathan Burnett family for their incredible generosity in donating Nathan’s funeral florals.

This would not have been possible without the amazing ministry of Second Bloom Ministries. They retrieve any donated florals and turn them into beautiful bouquets.

These beautiful flowers went to Turning Point and were shared with women and children impacted by domestic violence, offering moments of comfort, encouragement, and hope to those walking through incredibly difficult seasons.

This meaningful act of love allowed Nathan’s memory to continue touching lives in a powerful way. Thank you for turning remembrance into compassion and light for others.

As we step into a new year, all of us at Life and Legacy Funeral Home pause to honor the cherished lives that were lost this past year. We know that a new calendar does not erase grief; love remains, memories endure, and hearts continue to heal in their own time.

To those who are carrying the weight of loss, please know you are not alone. The memories you hold, shared laughter, quiet moments, and enduring love are treasures that time can never take away. As the new year unfolds, may those memories become gentle reminders of the bond you will always share.

Moving forward does not mean forgetting. It means honoring your loved one by living with the love they gave you, carrying their legacy into each new day.

Whether through remembrance, reflection, or quiet strength, their life continues through you.

As this new year begins, may you find moments of peace, comfort in remembrance, and hope for the days ahead. We are honored to walk beside you today, and always.
