“Our mother passed away from Covid-19 in a nursing home. Due to the worldwide pandemic, we were unable to have a service for her and we wanted to celebrate her life by creating something meaningful that reflected who she was. The shozoga was a way for all of us to come together to honor her.”

“My 80th birthday was in April 2020 in the middle of the Coronavirus Pandemic. The highlight of this “shelter in place” birthday was a very special gift from one of our daughters. I absolutely love this gift - it is such an affirmation of the love and support one receives from family and friends.
