CCS Legacy Page
This page is dedicated to the memories of valued co-workers, beloved family members, and our most cherished friends.
​
​
Remembering those who have passed away is a bittersweet act, where we hold onto the memories we shared, even as we feel the ache of their absence. It's in the quiet moments, the familiar places, or the stories we share with others where their spirit lives on. This is where we gather to remember their smiles, share our stories, reminisce about special moments, and celebrate the incredible life they lived. This is where we share our favorite photographs, those cherished traditions, and those beloved memories hoping that maybe, just maybe, we can hear the echo of their laughter in our hearts again. The act of remembering also allows us to maintain a connection to those we've lost, carrying them with us as we move forward.

“Those we love can never be more than a thought away…for as long as there’s a memory, they live in our hearts to stay.” ~Anonymous
By keeping their legacy alive may we find a way to honor and acknowledge their individual impact on our agency, their passion for helping others, and find some solace in our collective togetherness.
