What a wonderful day last Saturday was. Thank you to all you came out for the dedication of Sarah Beckstom’s Memorial Bench. The bench project has been a labor of love by the community at every point of its process.

Some special thanks we would like to mention: Norm Sorge and Jeff Hamrick for constructing this beautiful piece, Gracyn Durham for painting a commemorative saw blade, and Janet and Alex Fliegel for wood burning the artwork detail on the bench.

To all of our partners:
•The Grandparent Community Network
•The Blue Star Mothers WV2
•VFW
•Cogar Right of Way
•Cherry River Lumber
•Leslie Brothers
•SV innovations
•the community at large

THANK YOU.

We invite everyone to take a moment to visit the bench and continue sharing memories and stories of Sarah🇺🇸💙
