Special thanks to Caleb Wiseblood, calendar editor for the New Times and Sun for highlighting our annual Angel of Hope Memorial Service on Saturday, Dec. 2, at the Santa Maria Cemetery. Those in attendance had memorial bricks there in remembrance of their children. Some came because they had read about our service and never knew we had such an angel or how it came about.
After prayer and words of remembrance, white carnations and memorial booklets with our children’s names were given out. If you were not able to attend our service and want a booklet, please contact me at (805) 868-4855. We also thank the families and friends who came to our service. We all share a common bound filled with pain and loss, but although our children may be gone they will never ever be forgotten.
