I had no plans at all! From the first call to Dale Groce, letting him know of Jerry's passing, he was at Carepartners Solace in 20 mins. He was greeting everyone, and his compassionate nature was overflowing!! He said they would be there, no rush to plan, just to let him know when we were ready. That made the whole process for us to plan just open up. We met, planned as Dale's professionalism was evident from the start. He listened as we talked, taking notes, and asked us to tell him about Jerry. Dale Groce and his staff were Amazing!! They helped us turn a very sad situation into a wonderful celebration of Life. We are forever grateful for Groce Funeral Home. 10 isn't high enough!
Mike lived with my family in Texas for a few years in high school. He was the 5th boy in the house and boy did they find mischief. In the last 20 years we've reconnected and I have been so impressed with his gentle spirit. I saw Mike in Oct when I was traveling through Asheville. We had a lovely talk. It feel like we had an opportunity to say everything we felt. It was good. Nothing left unsaid. That was a gift to both of us from God. I know Mike is enjoying a place now with his Lord.
