In loving memory of their baby boy, the Sundquist family were compelled to make “Benny Boxes”, for others who experience the loss of a baby. These special memory boxes have been donated to the Perinatal/Maternity unit at NRGH in hopes to help guide and comfort grieving families. This beautiful demonstration of compassion has touched the hearts of us all.
