Creating a Memorial Garden for Rapheal
On September 12, 2024, we lost our beloved son, Rapheal. Known for his bright smile, compassionate heart, and love for nature, he was a source of light in our family. In his memory, we hope to create a special place where his spirit can live on—a memorial garden to honor the incredible person he was.

Reflect and remember Rapheal in a natural setting he cherished.
Find comfort and solace in the beauty of nature, just as Rapheal did.
Celebrate the joy and love he brought into the world.
