Throughout the ages, dogs that have passed have been lamented by their owners. Memorializing the time spent together will always be welcome.
“Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve, and nurture, and care for all life.” James Cromwell
“The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth will ever be.” Konrad Lorenz
“It’s difficult to understand why people don’t realize that pets are gifts to mankind.” Linda Blair
“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.” Josh Billings
Affection for dogs can be expressed with words of love and appreciation. The time spent together can be truly appreciated by the dog and its owner. Morrison Bark Park, currently under construction on N. Genesee Street, Morrison, IL, is offering the opportunity to memorialize your dog. Purchase a “Memorial Brick” to be placed permanently at the gateway to Morrison Bark Park.
Each brick may have three lines (15 characters each line) engraved for a fee of $75.
Line one will carry the pet’s name. Lines two and three may be engraved with words of the purchaser’s choice.
Interested parties can submit a $75 check (payable to Morrison Lion’s Foundation NFP) with the desired engraving to Karla Burn, 700 Coralyn Drive, Morrison, IL 61270.
