A Gathering For You

11/08/2025

It’s crucial to support our military community and express gratitude to every veteran for their service. Some veterans lose their fight due to their experiences. Today, I supported a Veteran Su***de Walk and had the honor of meeting a family who sadly lost Vito. Remember, people are battling unseen struggles; let’s be kind, supportive, and embrace each other with love. You never truly know what someone is enduring. Please learn more about Vito, and if you know someone who is struggling or showing signs of depression and/or suicidal thoughts, remember that #988 can save their life!!! “Action is HOPE”

Today we added another leaf to our “FOREVER TREE”. What a wonderful celebration of life. This man was cherished by countless individuals and that was evident by the amout of people who came to celebrate him. He had a passion for hunting and fishing, and it truly reflected in his life. Today, I had the privilege of meeting many people who held Eric close to their hearts. He was a simple man who embraced life, valuing his moments with family and enjoying teaching his son about the great outdoors. It was a joy to have hosted this celebration. This family was remarkable, and they did an absolutely fantastic job making this day memorable. Forever loved and missed, Eric Seeman.

We added another leaf to our "FOREVER TREE." This celebration was particularly special because it turns out that this woman was known by Greg. He grew up with her family and was very familiar with them. Jill was vibrant and full of love. She would often add smiley faces to her notes, which is why there were balloons… and she had a fondness for the color red. I was truly amazed by the stunning colors and decorations that her daughter and family created. One thing that struck me as especially meaningful was that Jill wrote letters to her family, and her daughter read a few of them. What a heartfelt gift from Jill to her loved ones. A big thank you to the entire family for letting us host such a beautiful celebration. It was a true honor…

A little about us 💖

Following the loss of her daughter, Melissa Maloney founded A Gathering For You , a business born from a mother's grief that's now working to disrupt a tradition-bound industry.

After struggling to find a space that felt right for their daughter's celebration of life, Melissa and her husband Greg created a venue designed specifically for memorials. Unlike traditional funeral homes, the space is warm and inviting, complete with customizable lighting, comfortable seating and a kitchen for families to bring their own food.

"I just wanted somewhere people could go and celebrate their loved one at a nice venue and not cost $10,000 to do it," Maloney says.

Today we added another STAR to our “FOREVER TREE”. David was a proud Coast Guard veteran who had a passion for music and played in a band. His talent with woodworking shone through in the beautiful handmade furniture he crafted for his family. He truly was the “world’s greatest grandpa and dad,” and his family will always hold him close to their hearts. The fresh-picked flowers from his yard and his playful teddy bear wearing underwear perfectly captured his kind and fun-loving spirit. It was a real honor to host his celebration of life, and I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the entire family for their warmth and kindness.

We added a STAR to our “Forever Tree”. This man was exceptional. He had a deep love for his family and his country, and he was a proud veteran. John deeply loved his wife and kids… John had a passion for the packers and was able to fulfill a dream of his by attending the draft. He will be greatly missed and was cherished and respected by countless people. One thing I truly admired about this family is their kindness and love. I have honestly never experienced so many hugs, and I cherished every moment of it. Thank you for allowing me to host this beautiful celebration, it was an honor.

Today we added another leaf to our FOREVER TREE. I cried today at this Celebration of Life. My heart broke for the family and for Richard because he endured a lot in his life. He was a remarkable man and loved his family. This was evident by a sheet of paper he kept with everyone’s birthdays on it to ensure he knew them all. He will deeply be missed by his friends and family. Thank you to the wonderful family for allowing me the honor of hosting his Celebration of Life.
