Having felt the emotional turmoil of losing a loved one and wishing there was a place to turn for help and guidance, inspired Karen Cooke and Shelley Marine to form In Time of Need. These two caring, longtime friends combined their talents in event planning and community involvement to help others in their time of need. We can walk you through one of life's most difficult times.
