Memorial Bench
With your help, we raised funds for this memorial bench and plaque to honor Patricia! The City of Klamath Falls will be pouring the concrete for the bench the week of May 18, 2025. The Memorial Bench will likely be installed during Memorial week.
The Patricia Gathering
We are organizing the official opening of the Memorial Bench on June 6, 2025 - what would have been Patricia's 35th birthday. This day will also mark the beginning of what we hope becomes a yearly tradition: The Patricia Gathering. This event invites our community to come together in love, remembrance, and solidarity - especially for those impacted by addiction and loss.
As part of the gathering, we are introducing two ongoing projects: Names Worth Saying and Messages of Hope. Names Worth Saying is a space to to honor the names of those we've lost to addiction, ensuring they are remembered with dignity and love.
Messages of Hope will offer an opportunity for guests to share words of encouragement, hope, and healing for others who are struggling with addiction. We hope the gathering becomes a meaningful way to connect, grieve, and heal together.
New Photos
Through no small miracle, we received a large tote full of Patricia's scrapbooks that were held in safekeeping for the last ten years. As we process through the tote, more photos will be uploaded. What a blessing for our family. Thank you so much, you know who you are.
