PRESQUE ISLE, Maine – On Saturday, August 24 the Aroostook Hospice Foundation hosted its annual Remembrance Way Memorial Garden &  Pathway Dedication Ceremony at the Aroostook House of Comfort Gazebo, a touching event that brought together families and friends to honor the memory of their loved ones.

This year’s ceremony featured the dedication of 38 new stones, a bench, wind sculptures and one mini garden, each carefully personalized to celebrate the lives they represent. The gathering included heartfelt moments of fellowship and music, with red and white roses laid at  each newly dedicated site to symbolize love and remembrance.
