Death is understandably not high on the list of most people’s favorite topics of discussion. But it is, of course, something all of us can expect to experience. And since we all have to admit that it’s coming, it is an important responsibility to plan ahead for the inevitable.

HOPATCONG – When 10 children in the area look under their Christmas trees this year, shiny, new bicycles and matching helmets will be waiting for them, thanks to the efforts of about 25 local elves.
The teams from the Law Firm of Gruber, Colabella, Thompson, Hiben & Montella and SMILE of Hopatcong – a 501(c)(3) non-profit group home for developmentally-disabled men – celebrated their joint holiday party on Wednesday differently than others typically do.
