Memorial Leaf
The Donor Wall was created by Tom Moberg from Des Moines and is a wonderful piece of art. The donor tree commemorates donations of $1,000 and up with names engraved in metallic leaves of varying color and size and the rocks at the bottom of the piece represent the foundation donors. Tom created the tree and the adjacent river scene in only eight days and it makes a spectacular entrance into the Hospice Home.
