Dedication of the Wings of Love Monument
Join us, as we stand with the Western New York Perinatal Bereavement Network (WNYPBN) in dedicating the new Wings of Love Memorial Garden in Forest Lawn Cemetery. The Memorial Garden will provide foundation for a peaceful, permanent, commemorative place for parents experiencing child loss.
Dedication will take place on Monday, October 15, 2018 at 11:00 AM. Forest Lawn Cemetery, 1411 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY. A reception will follow.
WNYPBN continues to raise funds for the completion of the Forest Lawn Memorial Garden, as the monument, benches and flora are quite elaborate.

At exactly 7:00PM, people all around the world join together in the International Wave of Light, by lighting a candle and keeping it lit for one hour. It is said “as the sunlight moves around the globe, so does the candlelight, creating a Wave in honor of perinatal loss.”

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month
When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn’t a word to describe them.
- Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the United States
