"This Father’s Day, I’m at peace knowing where my dad rests."
"I don’t like visiting headstones. They feel cold. But the forest felt peaceful, and warm. He's not alone in the dark. He’s part of something bigger, still growing, still giving back.
Since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a redwood tree. This was a way to go back to my roots.”
Nancy B., Santa Cruz Memorial Forest
