Our Story of Drake

       I founded Drake's Memorials to honor my grandson. His death lit the fire of a deep desire to keep his memory strong. Having experienced grandparenthood some 6 years earlier and acquainted with the pure love and joy it brings, the excitement and anticipation of his arrival reached a sky level crescendo. The caring, feeding, playing, holding and loving of a baby grandchild is perfection in earthly form. His mother would never hold him until he was gone. The rest of us would never hold him at all. I do hold him in my memory daily and heart eternally. I began searching for ways to honor his memory by collecting and giving 'sentimorials'. I found a few nice things and most included heartfelt messages but generic in nature.

      I then recalled how the mother of friend who died young would celebrate his birthday with a very unique twist of tradition. With her permission that idea is now in development and will be a part of the passion, purpose and mission of Drake's Memorials and More to offer unique and personalized ways for all to honor the memories of passed loved ones.

Signed,

Drake's Papa
