Family disputes are the hardest to handle for sure. No doubt there are numerous contributing factors that make that true, but none greater than the simple truth that we are family and like it or not, we are connected … for life.

Epitaphs. They’ve been around for quite a long time but it was during the latter part of the European Renaissance, the 15th and 16th centuries, that epitaphs became popular.
