Just wanted to thank the people that have been with Vern and I over the last 15 years journey.
With Vern having cancer we are passing the torch to new owners.
We had a plan to make this a perfect place for people to come.
Once the pond was done we had an out cry from parents that also lost children and wanted a place to morn.

So I pitched the idea that we redo the one wall and open it up to anyone who has lost a child.

So as some know the story Vernon said I’ll think about it… yes we all know what that means.

So later a mother came and told us the story of how she lost her child in a car accident by a drunk driver.
I looked over at him with a single tear he says “I guess we will do the wall.”
Over the years we have spent many hours talking and listening to the grief that parents go through and it’s been our privilege to serve the community

So I hope the memorial hold a place in your heart as it has in ours.
