Dear Bower Center Family and Friends,
The family of Sara Braaten are creating a memorial “book” to celebrate her life, and would love your help.
If you have a favorite memory, story, or a way that Sara touched your life, please consider sharing it with them. Your words – whether long or short – will help them honor the impact she had on so many. Whether it’s a full story or just a few words that describe her spirit, every contribution matters and is deeply appreciated.
The completed book will be available to those attending Sara’s Celebration of Life service through a QR code that guests can scan to view the collection. A link will also be posted to Facebook.
Share your story here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScWzkanrFmJ7Ua6yO8utIGgEWHLr4QEOfbD_m-Ha6pNQ5w_Xw/viewform?usp=header
The form is simple to fill out, and you are welcome to include your name, where you live, and your relationship with Sara, or submit anonymously if you prefer. If you have trouble accessing the form, please feel free to message her daughter, and she can take your response another way at kakidillon@gmail.com. Please submit by March 29th.
Your contribution means more than you know. They are deeply grateful for your help in honoring Sara’s life!
The family would also like to invite you to join them for a Celebration of Sara's Life (full obituary can be seen here.) 2015 Grandin Rd SW, Roanoke, VA 24015 1:00 - 2:00 pm

Including learning about nature and respecting it...even little bugs. Get ready to explore songs about bugs, bears, other forest animals, farm animals and farm life.
