Sorting through a loved one’s possessions after their death can be overwhelming. One way to make the task easier is to invite close friends or family members to help you.

While you may be tempted to tackle the task on your own, friends can provide emotional support and encouragement. Involving too many people could make the process more stressful, but working alongside one or two close friends can keep you from feeling overwhelmed.

Who’s your support system? Give them a shoutout in the comments below.

It is always an honor to celebrate the dedicated Dispatch team of Franklin County Law Enforcement. This year, we dropped off a cake and gift cards from our community as a small token of our appreciation for everything they do behind the scenes.

Their calm voices, quick thinking, and unwavering commitment make a difference every single day—often without recognition. We’re also grateful to celebrate them during this week’s Hero’s BBQ alongside our other first responders.

Thank you for being the steady link in every emergency and for serving our community with such dedication. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💙
