“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break.”
William Shakespeare
These words from Shakespeare lend support to the mission of Buzzy’s Bees to “…change the grief culture surrounding the unexpected loss of a child.” Please continue to speak the names of beloved, lost ones. As you reflect and remember you may be moved to make a contribution in their memory. We humbly received gifts in 2022 in memory of the following individuals:
Talia Bradley
Ellie Carmichael
Aiden Preston Causey
Hudson Drews
Ruby Lakoduk
Brooke Racheal Marsh
Garron Martin
Theodore McBride
Brynn McMeen
Emilio Mendler
Amy Moore
Lucila Aviña de Morales
Amelia Bea Randolph

As we reach out to families whose hearts are breaking to offer resources, to ease a financial burden, to listen and make space to “give sorrow words” we cherish the partnership of many people.
We are a small, volunteer-driven organization so the time and talent and generous donations of our supporters is essential. We are inspired and encouraged by those moved to share Buzzy’s Bees mission. Your efforts and contributions make it possible to carry on.
