Nancy's memorial service is scheduled for December 15.  She is our 98th child in the garden.
~~~
Our thanks to you for loving the children in the Garden of Innocence.  If you attend our services, and are willing to help (read a poem, release a dove or help in any other way), please speak to anyone wearing a Garden of Innocence badge upon your arrival.  We're always happy to incorporate your support.
Spotlight On:  Our Music Coordinators
Cahill and DeleneBarry Cahill and Delene St. Clair make beautiful music together as a working duo and as husband and wife. They have been volunteer musicians for the babies of the Garden of Innocence and, through their connections in the music industry, find other musicians to volunteer, too.

Delene comments: "What an incredible Garden of Innocence has been created by so many hands and hearts for the babies. At each memorial service there is a beautiful energy and love emanating from everyone present. While it is sometimes difficult to sing from your heart, when you are feeling so much love for these little ones without getting teary-eyed, you know you are helping to release them to the Divine in a dignified way."

Barry and Delene perform with their five-piece cover band Hot Pursuit and have also recorded original music as "Cahill & Delene". In addition to their love of music, they travel and hike throughout the world.
