Painting Memorial Stones

"Please walk through the space and choose a stone that speaks to you. Carry it to a table where you can paint, write on, or decorate your stone. Take the "new stone" to the second area and participate in creating a new stone design on the floor - signifying moving forward forward, while still remembering.
We will never forget."
