Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We are excited for the opportunity to fellowship in person once again at our Annual National Convocation on July 21-23, 2022. During our two years apart due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us suffered unimaginable losses, including me, with the untimely death of my 30-year-old daughter, Monet Dailey-Hamner.

I understand all too well the pain of loss and the importance of remembering our loved ones. This year we want to acknowledge all those who lost a loved one over the past two years at our annual National Garden of Life ceremony, Thursday, July 21, 2022, at 6:00 p.m.

We are asking that you send a picture and name of your loved one to be included in a memorial video that will be presented during the ceremony. Regardless of whether you purchased a bench or brick, we invite you to be a part of the ceremony. We will release balloons at the closing of the ceremony and you are welcome to bring your own balloon to represent your loved one.

May the God of heaven and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ preserve and comfort us all.

Dr. Juanita Brigman, Ed.D.,
Director and Progenitor of the National Garden of Life
