We've made it to page five of the Shropshire star and hopefully this will raise awareness of all the amazing work whats gone into delivering this special place, to give families a place to remember their loved.

It will hopefully reach those families who don't use social media and might see it and would like a plaque in memory of their little Angel 💙🩷

If you can help raise awareness by sharing our posts, that would be appreciated and if you haven't already and would like to keep up-to-date please drop us a follow. 🩷💙🌳🩷💙

💌 LETTERS TO HEAVEN 💌

We’re incredibly honoured to introduce our new Letters to Heaven letter box located in the Little Footprints In The Sky Baby Memorial Garden, in Jubilee Woods, Dawley Bank. 🩷💙

This special letter box is open to anyone who would like to write a letter to a loved one who is no longer with us. 🕊️

Sometimes, putting our thoughts, feelings, memories and words onto paper can be a meaningful part of coping with loss. It can also be a gentle way to help younger siblings understand and express their own feelings. 💗🩷💙

You may wish to write a letter for:
✨ A birthday or special occasion
✨ An anniversary
✨ Christmas or another significant date
✨ A special memory
✨ Or simply to say the things you wish you could still say

💌 HOW IT WORKS

Simply write your letter, place it in an envelope and pop it into our, Letters to Heaven post box. No stamp is needed.

Every letter will be treated with the utmost care, respect and compassion and will remain sealed.

We will empty the letter box each week and place the letters into a sealed Pickering Foundation box. On the last weekend of each month, the letters will be lovingly cremated, sending your words to heaven to reach your loved ones. 🕊️❤️

This is a very special addition to our memorial garden, created to provide a quiet and meaningful way for people to continue expressing their love, remembering those they have lost, and keeping their memories alive.

Write from the heart. Send your words to heaven.
Keep their memory alive.💗🕊️
