Thank you all for the many ways you have been expressing your sorrow and kindness to us. The decisions to be made and the details that are required have been snowballing as reality sets in and we're hoping that we are getting the right information into your hands as it is needed.
Marie and I have decided that we'd really like to give back to BC Children's Hospital for all that they have given our family. In lieu of flowers and other gifts, please consider these options:
1) BCCH has a "In Memory Of" online donation service which can be accessed here.
2) With the assistance of BCCH, a "Josiah Haak Wall of Tribute" has been created on the BCCH website. While you can there with a little clicking, the direction link is here.
3) Finally, one that Marie & I are very excited about: instead of flowers and alike at his memorial service, we're going to fill the stage with the things that gave Josiah the biggest joy - trees. We are inviting anyone who is interested to purchase a small potted tree that will be available at his memorial as a reminder Josiah's life and how much trees filled him with such joy. All the proceeds of these sales will go to BCCH.
Hopefully this information can answer the questions you may have and give you some direction.
Thank you for the many forms your generousity, devotion, and tenderness has been seen this week.
- Andrew & Marie
