Riverside 2008 Annual Worldwide Candle Lighting Services
category:Clubs and Organizations posted:November 20th, 2008
Highlights: “A Journey of Remembrance.”
What the heart has once known, it shall never forget-author unknown. The program
will begin around 6:45 PM and include an open forum after the names of our
children are read. The candle lighting will begin promptly at 7:00 PM, so the
chain around the world will not be broken. As candles go out in one time zone,
they will be lit in the next creating a wave of light that will encircle the
globe. The event program will include poems, music, and short stories of
remembrance.
Bring: Please feel free to bring pictures, remembrances, or
items that remind you of your child to share at the memory tables provided.
Refreshments would be appreciated for after the memorial. There will be candles
available for 150; however, you may want to bring your own candle. This
remembrance is held even if it rains . . . DRESS WARMLY! You may want to bring a
chair and an umbrella if necessary.
Special Events (before): Please feel free to arrive for
greetings and placement of any mementos on the tables around 6:30 PM
Special Events (after): please stay after to share special
memories of your child with us. Your memories are precious to us and we want to
know those special moments that made up a life.
