A new Bereavement
Support Group for our parents / families who have experienced the death
of a child is in the process of coming together. The
"Cherished Memories" Support Network is
in the initial development stages, and if this is something that you are
interested in attending, we require your support to make this
organization grow. As our group continues to form itself, work is
being done in various areas. The following is an outline of
