Create a Living Tribute
One compelling way to honor the memory of a special person is to create a living tribute in their name. Is there a particular cause, church, a charity or maybe a university that was significant to your loved one? If so, you might think about establishing a scholarship or an event that would raise awareness and provide funding for the cause.
Consider building a playground, donating books to a library or even planting a tree. Establishing a living tribute to your loved one can bring about healing, and will bless others for generations to come.
