Not Forgotten

Members of the Forget-Me-Nots take a break from their Coffee Break fundraising activities for the Alzheimer Society last Wednesday to gather around the willow tree and memorial marker near the bridge on Davidson’s walking trail to remember their friend and fellow Forget-Me-Not Marj Crabbe. This is the fourth year, since Crabbe’s death in 2014, that the group has come out to the willow tree to share some memories and pay tribute to Crabbe, who was an active member of the Forget-Me-Nots since the group’s inception 20 years ago. Crabbe was known for her tenacity in raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society. She developed the group’s marketing concept for strong cookie sales. She refused to take ‘no’ for an answer. The Forget-Me-Nots provide supports for people dealing with Alzheimer’s disease. They also raise money for Alzheimer’s disease research. Through fund-raising activities and years of Coffee Breaks, they have raised $25,500.

As a point of interest, some wild roses have taken root at the base of the willow tree.
