A night of remembrance~ sharing song and poetry
The following symbols within the image of the dancing girl
are reflective of Shayla and the legacy she leaves behind.
Representing transformation and her Aboriginal roots
- the Shoshone Indians believed the Great Spirit blew
the breath of life into pebbles, which then became butterflies.
Feathers signify virtues. Each feather symbolizes Charity, Hope, and Faith.
The Scarlet Red Oak Tree echoes the courage of a person of action.
Many people have gone to sit beneath the mighty Oak to gain strength and spiritual renewal.
The outside world can be forgotten and the inner world can slip back into perspective.
The Oak tree's mighty presence can help to restore faith in ourselves.
Joshua took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord.
~Joshua 24:26
Please unite in honouring Shayla’s passion for collecting stones, by joining in the heart pebble movement created by her bereaved mother, Tonya Alton
