That's beautiful and I believe she knows.

That's wonderful news!

That is wonderful, JRP. A playground, how lasting and I bet something she would have loved.

Made me smile today.

Congratulations jrp, I know what joy this must have brought you!

What a wonderful tribute and remembrance. What a special project and so poignant to Dina's interest and heart.

This is her legacy - she has made an impact to her former students, and will continue to do so for many children playing in the playground. Very special, indeed.

When you work with kids your planting seeds for the future. I work with kids who are victims of sexual and physical abuse and it's planting seeds that someday they may remember in their future. Your wife was truly blessed with the ability to impact these kids and now one of her seeds is starting to take root. It's great to see.
Peace, Tim

Are you planning to put up a plaque? I was thinking of buying a park bench with an engraved dedication and having it placed where my husbands ashes are scattered (on a hill in his hometown).

Thanks for sharing happy news. All the best to you..

Great tribute to your beloved wife's memory. She will always be remembered by the ones she loved and that loved her in return. ~Pete

Thank you all for the kind words. I received a little bit of background on the donation from the adjustment counselor (and friend) that worked in Dina's classroom with her...

"The family that donated in Dina's name are wonderful, wonderful people who adopted a severely disturbed boy from Armenia. He came to our classroom before Dina got so sick. She worked insanely hard with him for a year and I believe was one of the reasons this child ever learned to read which some folks thought was impossible. His parents never forgot her contributions to his learning. He made leaps and bounds with us and ultimately graduated 2 years ago and went to a middle school program. His parents were grateful beyond words for what TEC had done for their son."
