Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

His message of compassion, justice, and unity continues to guide us, reminding us of the power of service and the importance of caring for one another. In our work, we are humbled every day by the strength of families, the love they share, and the hope they carry forward — values Dr. King championed throughout his life.

As we reflect on his dream, may we all strive to extend kindness, uplift our communities, and walk gently with one another.

Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Testimonial:
"After losing beloved Gary Stover Dec 25th 2025, I must take the time to say thank you to all the staff at Good Shepherd - particularly Jeremy Brown. I'm truly amazed that at this busy time of year Jeremy was able to give 100% of his time and attention to me and my family during our time of deep loss. He answered every question, carried out every detail with the same attention that he would give to his own family. He kept us on track and gave suggestions only when his input was needed. I will pre-plan with this wonderful company and I know they will do the same for me. Thank you again from the bottom of my breaking heart." - Esther (January 14, 2026)
