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!
Dave was a bright and thoughtful man, and my friend in our shared spaces, both in our writing group and in our home neighborhood. I also got to know his wife Donna and daughter Sarah, and send to both my regards and my sadness at their loss. Like Dave, I was born and grew up in West Virginia, but his quickness of thought and his extraordinary perspective were unique.
