Who

What

A dedication and a message of hope.


Iron artist Alan Root has gifted one of his pieces to the family. He will be installing it and talking a bit about the meaning of the work.


The hostess will have tea available for anyone who attends. There is no plan for a structured grief spill but there will be time and an invitation to share stories, memories and feelings with each other.


The installation will be street side, on N Alta Avenue between Willamette and Syracuse Streets, under the Ginko tree.

The location is in view of the St. John's bridge - a close walk to cathedral park.
