Dear Wellner/Gershman Friends and Family:

Re: Playground/Garden Honoring Benjamin Wellner

The children's garden and playground in memory of Benjamin at the Glasser Preschool is progressing nicely and we now have a plan in place. 

There is nothing Benjamin loved more than his family and friends, and the hours he spent playing and enjoying the world around him.  The creation of a place that will only know the laughter of children will bring a lasting memorial for a perfect little boy who was loved by so many.

To make this beautiful children's garden and playground in honor of Benjamin a reality, personalized bricks are available for a minimum tax deductible donation of $150 for a 4 x 8 brick, $250 for a 8 x 8 brick and $500 for a 12 x 12 brick.  These bricks will be permanently installed in a pathway as part of the children's garden and playground.  The brick will hold a 3 line name or message for the 4 x 8 brick, 6 lines for the 8 x 8 brick and 10 lines for the 12 x 12 brick.   It is our hope that each brick will send a message of support representing a life that Benjamin has touched and that together they will form the rich tapestry that Benjamin created.

A personalized brick can be purchased through this website. All orders for personalized bricks must be received by July 15, 2008. 

Additional donations can also be made directly to:

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at swallman@mwe.com or (312) 984-7782.  I know together we can build a lasting memorial celebrating Benjamin and all that he loved.

Warm regards,

Suzanne Wallman
