The Staab Family’s Annual Ride in Honor is coming up Sunday, October 11!

Each year, this special ride gives us an opportunity to come together as a community, remember those who served our country, and show our gratitude for the sacrifices made by so many brave men and women.

We invite both returning riders and those joining us for the first time to be part of this meaningful tradition.

The ride begins at 1109 South Fifth Street in Springfield.

Registration is $15 per bike and $5 per co-rider.

Come ride with us as we honor their service, remember their sacrifice, and keep their memory moving forward.

When you plan your funeral in advance, all the finances can be worked out now, giving your family one less thing to worry about.

The 2027 Kids Good Grief Camp will be held on Sunday, April 4, from 12–4 PM at Erin’s Pavilion in Springfield.

This special camp is for children ages 6–12 who have experienced the loss of a loved one, providing a safe and supportive place to share, connect with others who understand, and begin working through their grief.

Registration is $10, with scholarships available. The Staab Family is grateful to partner with Lincoln Land ABATE, whose continued support helps make this camp possible each year.

For more information, contact Dr. Melissa Franzen at 312.890.2241.

Funeral FAQ: How long should I stay for the visitation?

You do not need to stay for the whole visitation. About fifteen minutes is plenty of time to offer your condolences and show your support. Your presence alone means more than you may realize. If a prayer or service is taking place, try to wait until it ends before you leave.
