Ribbons of Rememberance
Over 610,000 Americans and 64,000 Californians have died from Covid-19, and many were not grieved in a way that allowed closer for family and friends. We offered this symbolic opportunity as a response to grief and other powerful emotions, and were thankful that this memorial space stood as a visual reminder to others that they were not alone in their pain.
Over the next few months, the memorial space will transition from individual ribbons, to a permanent plaque, marking a space beneath the large cross facing the Badillo street fence line. All the ribbons will be collected and stored beneath the cross as a way to remind us of what was lost and how God continues to carry us through difficult times.
Anyone wanting to add a ribbon, or collect a ribbon they placed should do so by August 15th, 2021 to insure the ribbons are still accessible.
We give thanks to Emanate Hospice and other community partners and communicators who helped us create and share this experience.
