Whether it’s his lucky pants, the dress that made her feel beautiful…or that awful Hawaiian shirt... some things just have special memories.Thanks to our wonderful volunteer seamstresses, we can take that favorite piece and turn it into a huggable Memory Bear or Memory Heart Pillow.“I have one made from my Dad’s shirt. It sits in my bedroom. It’s beautifully made and makes me feel closer to him every day. I often talk to it as I would Dad. Thank you for making these to help hold onto those memories forever.” — W.B., Houston Grieving is a natural and necessary process after the death of a loved one or other life transition.
