Memorial Gifts

“Dragonfly Wings has been a dream of mine since the passing of my dearest friend, Linda St. John, in 2005. During her illness, the Dragonfly became a symbol of hope, of courage, of strength… for her, and for all who walked with her on her journey. We talked about all the things we would do when I returned home, all the things we could accomplish. It breaks my heart that she is not here to see this dream become a reality, but I know she is embracing all we are doing, and I can hear her telling me, “just git’er done. So, I am.” – Lisa Durbin-Hester
