One year later, we hold close Bradley, Ainsley, Kathryn, Alma, and Rylee. Their absence is deeply felt, and their light continues to shine here.

We remain so grateful to the families, friends, and neighbors who entrusted us with gifts in their memory. That love is part of this space, and always will be.

We’re holding their loved ones in our hearts today.

We’ve been hard at work adding more pavers, brushing in the finishing sand, and creating a drainage path to help keep the area beautiful and functional for years to come. 🌿💪

This project is all about creating a welcoming outdoor space for our community to enjoy — and we’re so excited to see it coming together!

Stay tuned… the final touches are just around the corner! 🙌
