Never Far Apart is beautifully written by Kyle and Betty Mertens in honor of the special sibling relationship shared by their children following the loss of their first child, Ella. This uplifting children’s book provides both children and grown-ups with practical insights to help honor the memory of a loved one. You can find it here.
