Darling & Fischer Chapel of the Hills

This is week is National Suicide Prevention Week. This week long campaign is to inform and engage the general public and health professionals about warning sign...s and suicide prevention. Included is a link to the Guiding Grief Podcast where I had the honor of speaking to a Survivor of Suicide and the grief counselor who has walked alongside him through his journey. Mental health is a crisis at an all time high during this pandemic. Reach out to those in need early and often and approach one another with love and kindness. https://anchor.fm//Guiding-Grief-Podcast-Suicide-Edition-e

As we navigate through Covid-19 our thoughts are with the families of our communities. Especially, with families who suffer the loss of loved ones during this ...time and are unable to have their friends and family present to celebrate life. If you are unable to attend private services for family or friends at Darling & Fischer Chapel of the Hills or Darling & Fischer Campbell Memorial Chapel, please email us at [email protected] or [email protected] with your Name and a Message of Love. We want the immediate family to experience a chapel full of love and support. Each message will be printed and displayed to remind them that although you are unable to attend the Celebration of Life, you are with the family in thought and sending love and hugs. #campbellcares #feedtheneed

In response to Coronavirus (Covid-19) we are proud to offer free live streaming for all Life Celebrations and Funeral Services to keep our communities safe while connecting loved ones. Please share to help us get the word out.

To all our community and families, Darling Fischer is available and at your service especially through these difficult and confusing times. Though our services will seem different, rest assure we will still serve you with our very best. At this time we ask all families call 408-354-7740 to go over arrangements and questions before coming into the office. One of our dedicated staff members will be ready to assist you and gently go over planning and our current guidelines for ...services. If you are assisting a family member through the funeral arrangements, please make sure the legal next of kin is close by. Once contact is established we will proceed with making arrangements over the phone and utilizing DocuSign and our portal and if necessary an in person appointment. At the appointment we ask that only the legal next of kin or heath care power of attorney be present for signing. If you feel sick we ask you remain at home and our arranger will guide you through other options to complete the arrangements. These measures are to abide by the current order requested by Santa Clara County and to protect yourselves, your family, our staff and their families. We appreciate the trust our families and community put into us to honor and serve them. We wish everyone good health and comfort during these times. Stay home and stay safe! Thank you, Nicholas J. Welzenbach Managing Partner

So far this new service has received heartfelt gratitude from the families who have used it.

It was an unusual sight in Downtown Campbell this Monday night. Traffic was heavy and parking spaces were hard to come by even though many of the stores were cl...osed early. Our apologies for the inconvenience, but we were honoring a friend. We didn't plan to close the street on you, but when a river of flickering candles spills into the street and drifts silently down the road, it's a road closure by any other name. We're also sorry that some who came to the event didn't get a candle. There were 500 prepared and a few more than expected showed up. A lot of things happened on Monday night that we didn't expect. Topping that list would be that we never thought we'd be celebrating the memory of someone so important to our community with a candlelight vigil after her untimely passing at the age of 48. Kelly Young Crowley was Campbell's Citizen of the Year in 2017, a board member of the Downtown Campbell Business Association (us), and our acting President this past year. She wasn't just someone we loved and was (obviously) loved by many, but she was someone who perfectly embodied the kind of place that we are and want to be. More than just about anyone else, she knew Downtown Campbell from all angles because she lived it. She started off waiting tables at restaurants and would eventually graduate to being the general manager of Khartoum over a decade later. Somewhere in between she owned a boutique with a friend. They were actually both still waiting tables and would take turns at the shop and then go make their shifts at restaurants down the strip. She was kinda everywhere. Over the years, Kelly had a key role in all sorts of events and activities big and small in and around Downtown Campbell. She worked on our Wine Walks, Halloween events, toy drives, and numerous other holiday events. She's scheduled entertainment for festivals and fundraised for charities. Last year, she was the coordinator for the Carol of Lights. The list of things she's touched goes on almost as long as the line of people who came to pay their respects this week. Downtown Campbell is a culture of many hands joining together to do awesome things. If the people and organizations that make up our community were organs, Kelly would have been the heart. To a fault, she loved her community and had a bottomless desire to give to it. She was a joy to work with, cared for others, and was never too concerned about getting enough credit for the things she did. We are not only shocked and deeply saddened by her untimely passing, but we're also going to be dealing with how we move on without Kelly the leader, Kelly the volunteer, Kelly the cheerleader, and Kelly the friend. Tonight we will have to run our first Wine Walk without Kelly. Next month it'll be our first Halloween. There will be many non-celebratory milestones and unwelcome anniversaries. We hurt, but in honor of our dear friend, we’ll take it one day at a time and will do our best to keep being a place that Kelly was so proud to be associated with. It will take many days and months before things are normal again and we're asking for the support and understanding of our fans while we work through our loss. Kelly Young Crowley, we love you and we miss you.

Sending love and support to Gilroy and all those effected last night.
