New Year Reminders for the Travioli Family
New Year’s Eve is usually hopeful and exciting. Even if the year had been difficult, a person can write off all their bad resolutions and plan for future good intentions.

Lessons from Another Funeral
Two days ago I attended a memorial service and reception for Jeffrey Lester; Jeff died two months after being diagnosed with cancer. I have attended many funerals and memorials during the last several years. His memorial service seemed more uplifting. It reflected a life lived fully. When I left town, I turned on the radio. […]
Concert for Epilepsy to Raise Awareness

Sonoma County College and Career-Ready Fair
The high school graduating class of 2012 has already applied to college for next year. After November 30, many universities will not accept applications for Fall 2012. Does this seem early?
