Pizza Party Heart– #griefheart number 57

#griefheart project
Pizza Party Heart

We celebrated the life of my son on his death anniversary of June 5 this weekend Charles’ style. With a party. He loved pizza. He loved his friends and family. He loved parties.

This event was hosted by Beacon Tree Foundation VP and board member, Steve Gennett and his neighbors, part of the Pizza Patio in Richmond, VA.

Lovely event and I do so appreciate family visiting and friends who attended.  Made a tough weekend more manageable. This pizza illustrates the love and compassion I received at that event–from people I know and those I don’t know. So so hard to lose a child by suicide and I cannot imagine this journey without the support of my family, friends and my board.

What is the #griefheart project?
