About the Tribute
This heartfelt tradition began in 2014 when Janice created a memorial video in honor of her mother, who passed away at the age of 56.
“When my mom passed away, she was cremated and her ashes were spread with her parents. I realized I didn’t have a true place to go, nothing with her name to honor her memory. That’s why I started doing the video — our loved ones should be remembered, always,” Sabo shared.
Each year since, she has continued this labor of love, creating a touching tribute that allows families to remember and celebrate the lives of those who shaped our community.
