David & Katie Smith

July 29th, 2011

Now a family of four.

“I went to dinner with friends last week to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. They began talking about the minister they had- it was YOU! They STILL hold your words in their hearts.” - a surprised friend.

Funerals/Memorials are a celebration of life‍. Nothing is more intimate than this experience, as all hearts are open. These experiences are healing, and are a necessary ritual honoring life, our grief, relationships and love.

“Deborah, you were an absolute miracle to my mom and our family. You helped her transition to the other side by talking to her about all the steps she would encounter. As you know, my mom had a million questions about everything! You gave her a wonderful funeral full of love and laughs! You certainly knew my mom! Everyone who was at the funeral was impressed by your wonderful service. You were also a blessing to all of my family, supporting us through it all. Thank you for everything. We all felt your beautiful spirit. “ Kathy Clarke

Weddings, a celebration of finding your beloved who you have chosen to create a life with. After a phone inquiry, we will meet in person to see if we all agree we are good fit for me to officiate your service. After that we will have at least one more meeting. I write each service to reflect your story, personalities and journey.
