The approaching holiday season is meant to be a time of joy, punctuated by moments with special family and friends. For those whose loved ones who have passed away, the holidays can be a time of marked sadness. Remembering our loved ones and including them in our holiday observances keeps them alive in our hearts and celebrates their legacy that continues to live on.
Home Nursing Agency Foundation presents Lights of Love, a tribute event that invites you to “shine your own special light” in honor or memory of someone dear to you. Tree(s) will be lit in various locations with white lights to represent our Family Hospice program and blue lights to represent Grief Services for children, adults, and families. The trees will be lit on Nov. 22 and remain lit through Jan. 7, 2022. All gifts benefit Family Hospice & Grief Services.
