New memory blocks are added to the walls of Perham's Angel of Hope Park every spring and fall. This spring's order deadline is Tuesday, May 1.
Names will be engraved in time for Memorial Day, weather permitting, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The cost for a memory block is $150. Each block includes three lines of information.
The Perham Area Angel of Hope Memorial Park, located at the corner of 3rd Avenue and 6th Avenue NE, was dedicated on Sept. 24, 2004.
The idea for the park was born from the deepest grief any parent, sibling, grandparent, extended family member or friend will ever feel - the death of a child.

The names on the Memory Walls are the names of children of all ages. The park is a special place to grieve, hope, and heal; a place to remember and celebrate the lives of children.
