Today is National Funeral Director Day.

Most people will never truly understand the weight funeral directors carry. They walk with families on the hardest days of their lives when words are hard to find and hearts are broken.

They hold space for grief, honor stories that deserve to be remembered, and help families say goodbye with dignity and love.

It is quiet work. It is heavy work. But it is deeply meaningful work.

Today we honor the funeral directors who stand beside families when they need it most. Thank you for the compassion, strength, and heart you bring to your calling every single day. 🩵

Devonna enjoyed arts and crafts, putting together puzzles, bowling, and planning small family vacations. Earlier in her journey of faith, Devonna served in the children's ministry at Village Church of Gurnee, and she counted her public baptism among one of her meaningful moments of her life, a proud declaration of the faith that sustained her through all seasons.
