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.


WHY A MEMORIAL GARDEN?



This garden will be a peaceful sanctuary where friends, family, and loved ones can

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.
