• Trees of Remembrance. Losing a loved one is the hardest thing we ever do. For some, being able to link the love of the one lost and the love of those who will walk this earth in the present or future is a solace. And in its generosity it provides for those who came here unloved and unwanted.  Plant a tree, Apple or Pear and every year hundreds of these little pigs will receive your gift.   We are planting 100 trees in Nov and Dec of 2010. Make a donation on the link specify the information to appear on our Rainbow Bridge Remembrance roll.  Name, Yr of Birth, Yr of death, Species /breed. Trees cost us $25 each.
