The Walk to Remember will be held Saturday, October 6th from noon until 2pm in the Raleigh General Hospital Education Center.  There will be a short program, release of balloons, release of a dove,  the reading of the poem " Walk to Remember ", refreshments and a time of sharing.
 
Families are encouraged to bring pictures, mementos of the child that has passed if they so desire.
