🎬 Episode 5: Every Neighbor Deserves a Sound-Out

Welcome back, neighbors. 💛

Every person has a story that deserves to be told...a voice that should be heard one more time. In this episode, Joe E. Pray reflects on how each of us leaves a mark on the world and why every life deserves its own special “send-off.”

From quiet moments to joyful celebrations, it’s about recognizing the beauty and individuality in every life lived. Because every neighbor, every friend, every loved one deserves to be remembered for who they truly were.

Take a few minutes to join us once more in the land where imagination meets remembrance.

If you’ve been looking for a way to spread a little extra Christmas cheer, we have just what you need.

We’re putting our Whoville display together this week and would love your help. If you’re replacing an old artificial Christmas tree this year because it’s too worn out or too “ugly” to use, we’ll gladly give it a new life in Whoville. Your tree could become part of the magic.

If you have a tree to donate, please call us at 517-543-2950.

We can’t wait to bring Whoville to life again and invite our community to enjoy the holiday spirit with us.

Take a moment to watch and imagine what remembrance can look like when creativity and care come together.

🎥 Tune in this Friday, November 28th, for Episode 5.
