Update from Dec. 1, 2022

From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you to all who came to the memorial service we held in November to celebrate Leslie's life, and we truly miss those who were unable to attend. We recorded the service for those of who wish to view it, and have included the link below. We also took a video of the memory tree that we made in Leslie's honor to showcase her life and love of Christmas.
We greatly appreciate all the generosity of those who helped to arrange the burial and the reception afterwards, helped set up and coordinate the memorial service, and donated to The Bruns House.
Thank you again for all your love and support, and we wish you the happiest of holidays.
