The keynote speaker is Mary Verwys, veteran sidewalk counselor and founder of Garden of Hope, a ministry that offers encouragement and support to women who are considering an abortion or who have already had an abortion.

Special music will be provided by Mary Harkema, who works with choirs from Our Lady of Consolation Parish in Rockford.

The memorial service is a time of prayer and remembrance. Diapers and baby wipes will be collected for donation to local crisis pregnancy centers.
