Dedicated July 12th 2004

Chapter Leaders, Rosemary and Connie shared with the group their dream of having a living, beautiful memorial to all our children - a quiet haven, where parents/relatives/friends can come to reflect and remember their children. The Oak Creek Community Center was approached about donating a spot for our garden and graciously gave us the most perfect place, a place where we could build our garden and a wall where our children's names could be inscribed.

In 2002 a committee was formed, and after a lot of hard work, fund raising and individual contributions, our wonderful dream came true on July 12, 2004.  At this time we have 185 children’s names etched in the black granite panels surrounding the garden. There is still plenty of space on the all for those who would like to add the name of their child. Once a year, in July, additional names are added to the wall until it is full.  If you wish to have your child's name on the wall, please contact Rosemary Albrecht, 414-764-5668.

The Children's Memorial Garden serves as a wonderful gathering place for memorial observances, candle lightings, balloon launches, dove or butterfly releases, and other public ceremonies.

For more information about getting your child's name added to the Children's Memorial Garden Wall, please contact: Rosemary Albrecht, Chapter Leader
