I love it when a plan falls into place…
Yesterday, we had a few surprise visitors at the funeral home.

Sorority sisters, bearing boxes of used and tattered United States Flags for us to retire with honor, cremating them with veterans.
After the ladies left, I created a brief press release and sent it over to the Aiken Standard, figuring it would take a week or so to get in.
Ace reporter, Ben Baugh called Sharon Smoot and built a story that ran at the top of page three today.
