Mother

A Grove of Rememberance

A life's journey touches many lives
Our energy survives our passing
In the hearts of those who remember
We leave behind marks of our presence in
Love, art, ideas, wisdom, friendship & spirit
Accomplishment, connections, children & humor
At our journey's end

This is a place to honor those who we love, who have died.
