What to bring:

1.       If you would like a picture button, come at 6:30 pm. Bring a picture on plain paper
                 2 ¼ to 2 ½ inches 
        2.   Also bring a picture for the memory table
        3.   A snack to share after the program
        4.   If desired, bring a gift for a needy child in memory of your child
        5.   Plus we will be having a raffle.

 

As candles are lit at 7 p.m. local time, bereaved families gather to honor their loved ones in a way that transcends all ethnic, cultural, religious and political boundaries. Believed to be the largest mass candle lighting on the globe, the ceremony creates a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone. Wherever you are at that time, we hope you will join us in this loving remembrance. A memorial message board will be available that day at www.thecompassionatefriends.org. Please allow time for sign in and find a seat before 7pm.
