The Tree of Remembrance is a cherished Briarwood tradition that brings comfort and connection during the holiday season. Residents recently gathered to honor the memory of loved ones by placing ornaments on the tree and sharing cherished memories in a setting of reflection and care.
This year’s service was especially moving, featuring a beautiful musical performance by JOMP student Sofía Hernández-Williams, who performed a movement by solo Bach, creating a touching and contemplative backdrop for the ceremony. The program also included a heartfelt poem reading and the singing of Silent Night, moments that resonated deeply with all in attendance.
Following the service, residents and staff came together to enjoy hot cocoa and cookies, sharing conversation, warmth, and the spirit of community that defines Briarwood.
