Violets in Bloom – Childrens Memorial Garden
Fundraising campaign by

£2,847.00Donated So Far
To honour Violet's memory we have set up 'Team Violet' and have been fundraiseing for a number of causes including The Birmingham Childrens Hospital where Violet spent the last few weeks of her life and HLH Research Trust to help raise awareness of this fatal disease.
We have now recently started to raise funds for a childrens memorial garden to be created at the Local Crematorium in Fradley, Lichfield and this is the purpose of this campaign. This is a very important cause to us as we found the process of looking for a suitable site where we could have place a memorial for Violet really quite difficult. There didnt really seem to be anywhere in our area where parents could go to reflect, to seek solace and peace as they think about their little angels. We really wanted to see something that would truly represent children and babies.

Update posted by kmornington at 08:54 amI cant explain how I feel at the moment - I suppose this is what they mean by bitter sweet - full of excitement that we have been given the support from the Crem, and I mean support in every sense of the word, but with the underlying feeling of utter sadness. . . . .
Meeting with the Crem
Update posted by kmornington at 02:12 pmFeeling very nervous. We have our meeting on 8th March at 3pm to talk to the Manager of Fradley Crematorium about taking the project forward - Im hoping that this will be the day that our wishes will be realised and they say a big fat 'yes' for the garden.
