WHY | MEMORIES OF HONOR
Long after the casseroles and sympathy cards stop coming, and the rest of the world has moved on, often surviving families feel alone and isolated in their grief. They have already experienced their worst nightmare; their loved one is gone. Now their greatest fear is that he/she will be forgotten.
We actually die twice; the first time is when we take our last breath. The second time is the last time someone speaks our name. We exist to ensure this the second death never happens.
“My biggest fear is that Ben will be forgotten. Don’t forget. Honor and respect those who lost their lives and never, ever forget. Men and women like My Ben deserve to be remembered more than just one day a year.”
Brenda Gearheart
Proud Mother of LCpl Benjamin Gearheart, US Marines 8/27/1997
