On this page are the dedications done through The Compassionate Friends
In 2000 TCF members were invited to make quilt squares to be made into a Quilt to be put on display at TCF National Gatherings.
This is the square that Darren’s Nan made on our behalf to be added to the Quilt.
Just outside Perth, Scotland, Ian and Kim, Megan‘s Dad and Mum, have created a garden in her memory.
The parents of Megan asked if anybody would like their children’s names to be painted on to stones and to be put on show in the garden. The names were painted by Clare, Mum of Annaliese.
We asked for Darren’s name to be added. This year, 2022, we visited the garden and saw the stone.
Stephanie, mum of Sam, enters a tree into the Bridport Christmas Tree Festival and she invites members of TCF to have a star with their child’s on name and a photograph put on display.
A close up photograph, you can see Darren’s photo and his star amongst others.

Tracy, mum of George, planted this Norway Spruce for her son’s birthday, November 30th, and invited TCF members to have their children’s name added.

Anna, mum of Alex, came up with the idea of a Memory Quilt consisting of painted stones in 2023. Anna asked for volunteers to help and she was joined by Jo, Kate, Amanda and Johanna. The TCF Stone Memory Quilt was finished by December 2024. Darren’s stone is in the bottom row, second from the right.
Amanda, mum of Ria, painted this stone for Darren.
Jude, mom of Jody, in 2025 ascended Ben Lomond in New Zealand in memory of her son. She had t-shirts printed and she invited members of TCF to have their child’s name printed on the back of them.
Darren’s name is one of those names.

The following photographs show the Candle Jars and Candle Bags that I decorated at various TCF Retreats and Gatherings. They were then used in Candle Lighting Services so I have included photographs of some of them in use. There are 2 photographs (front and back) of each Candle Bag. These had gravel added to them before putting the candle in.
