Our Companions Honor/Memorial Gifts 2009
What’s the best way to show sympathy for the death of a beloved pet, family member, or friend? Flowers are a wonderful,
inspiring symbol of the cycle of life and death, cheering and moving at a funeral, but they’re ephemeral, and we have the urge
to remember someone in a more permanent way.
What gift really says what we’re thinking about birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or any other joyful occasion? Do we want to
fill others’ lives with more stuff that we’re not sure that they really want? More people choose a different way: making
a donation to a charity you care about, in honor of the occasion, giving both the giver and receiver a sense of the event’s
making a more lasting mark.
Our Companions received hundreds of these thoughtful gifts in 2009, and we thank you all so much for thinking of us. See the list,
attached here, and remind yourself of a milestone passed last year that you honored with us; or just read and share in the constantly
changing nature of life.
