“I make memory bears out of clothing from family members that have passed away. It connects the loss of the family member back to the family and helps support the family through the grieving process. It is a beautiful experience to be a part of and I get to pray for the family while I create the bear.

It really is a blessing to those families to have a part of that family member back in such a unique way. I get to create these bears and they are really so much more to the family than just a bear. They get to experience the love and compassion of the loved one again and really connect with the joy of their family. That is why I make the bears!” shared  Shankari Paradee
