At a recent Lighten celebration in St. Louis, an honoree's granddaughter read an excerpt from Willa Cather's My Ántonia, to express the importance of her grandfather's farm to their family life. It's beautiful to witness the memories, stories, and influences that continue to live on in the family and friends of loved ones who have passed. #Lighten #celebrationsoflife #celebrationoflife #myantonia #willacather #readings #funerals #celebratinglife #lightencelebrationsoflife
