WHAT CANCERCANNOT

DO . . .Cancer is so limited that . . .

it cannot cripple love;

it cannot shatter hope;

it cannot corrode faith;

it cannot destroy peace;

it cannot kill friendship;

it cannot suppress memories;

it cannot silence courage;

it cannot invade the soul;

it cannot conquer the spirit;

it cannot steal eternal life.

WE SALUTE “CATALYST”, THE CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA COALITION UNITED TO FIGHT CANCER, AS YOU SPONSER “LOVING SOULS AND SWEETHEARTS” 16TH CANCER EDUCATION WORKSHOPS AND LUNCHEON

The Tradition of Our Family Caring for Your Family Continues into the 3rd Generation

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MRS. DOROTHY BROWN WINFIELD, WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT CATALYST AS THEY MAKE STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER. PRAYERFULLY THROUGH YOUR CANCER EDUCATION WORKSHOPS, WE WILL SEE MORE SURVIVORS THAN VICTIMS.

In 1951 Major and Dorothy Winfield began a ministry of funeral service. A service of helping families create meaningful remembrances of their loved ones. This ministry was instilled in their children and their employees. Today, over fifty-nine years later, that ministry continues as we strive to set the highest standards of care in quality funeral service.

As a family business, we also remain dedicated to our mission of being more than just a business.

We take pride in our strong community involvement by supporting and actively

participating in efforts that improve the quality of life for families in our

community. Thank you Greater Harrisburg for embracing us

for over 59 years. 55 99
