FREE Event hosted by United Way of Addison County:
Middlebury Union Middle School Principal and author of the recently published book "Of Grief, Garlic and Gratitude – Sam's Love Story", Kris Francoeur invites you to a special presentation about the process of sharing a very personal and difficult story.

"Of Grief, Garlic and Gratitude follows the first thirty months after Sam Francoeur's death from an accidental opiate (prescription) overdose...
At times raw and uncomfortable to read, Of Grief, Garlic and Gratitude is a brutally honest first-hand account of the pain of losing a truly special child, and how the conscious practice of expressing gratitude, unconditional acceptance of others, and keeping a very active connection with nature helped bring light and joy back into Kris's life. Her story helps grieving families feel that hope and joy will return, no matter how devastating and permanent the loss.
While Kris will grieve forever, Of Grief, Garlic and Gratitude shows readers they can find light and joy again—no matter how great the darkness."

Join Kris this Thursday, March 14 at Middlebury Town Hall Theater for a night of community support, discussion, and gratitude!
