The Rutledge and Bigham Volunteer Support Staff is composed of people who give unselfishly of their gifts and talents, helping to bring others to a place of peace during one of the most difficult times in their lives, the death of someone they love. Sometimes it is only a smile, a kind word or maybe just to sit and listen; however no matter what it is our support staff is there to assist. Volunteers are special because they give of themselves freely and they give of their hearts.
