On December 1, something very special will happen in Concord, New Hampshire. Every year, Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association (CRVNA) and Hospice fills our town, and the surrounding towns of Contoocook, Penacook, Pittsfield, Henniker, and Hillsboro, with hundreds of electric window candles. Downtown businesses, shopkeepers, and restaurant owners light these candles in their windows, so that every evening in December, the memory of loved ones who have passed shines for all to see.
Anyone can make a monetary donation or simply add a loved one’s name to the Lights of Life Honor Roll. The list of names will be published in the Concord Monitor at some point during the week of December 5. You can visit http://www.crvna.org/donations/lightsoflife.php for more information.
CRVNA holds a ceremony on December 3 to celebrate life and honor the people we carry in our hearts from year to year. Mom, Scott, and I will be there.
These are the names I added to the list this year:
Larry Cox
Les Cox
Lee Holman
Kenny Cox
Katie Gober
Caralee Ladd
Anne Heine
Frans Amelinckx
Jack Savage
Tom Little
Casey Migacz
Pete Vanderboom
Tip Snyder
Mae Beck
You are among heroes, each of you ~ the most beautiful, most true, most loved, and we remember you fondly.
Celebrate these wonderful people with me, and if you have the chance to drive through Concord, enjoy the beautiful candles and pick one for your special person. Happy Holidays!
