We feel privileged to remember the names of your loved ones this holiday season. We appreciate all of your requests and our staff and volunteers make every effort to read and spell every name correctly.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found;
was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my Fears relieved

Loved Ones that will be remembered...
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed
Through many dangers toils and
snares we have already come
'Twas grace hath brought us safe thus far
and grace will lead us home
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found;
was blind, but now I see
Lights for Life
by Nadine A. Allen
Gaze upon this lighted tree
Accepting the blessings that it sends,
Knowing each light bears a name
of Family and friend.
Lights for life, showing the way
In a world that’s dark and gray,
Showing us tomorrow ...
Can be a brighter day.
Lights for life, reflecting Faith
For each of our beliefs,
To help us now upon this earth
As we work through all the grief ’s.
Lights for life, filled with Hope
Of a time that’s yet to be,
When Peace and Joy will rule the world
And God will set us free.
Lights for life, aglow with Love
of loved ones, now gone home,
A gift to each one of you
That simply says, “Shalom”.
Lights for life, to make us smile
As our lives we share anew,
Knowing Faith, Hope and Love
Will always see us through.
May these lights of life, refresh you
As holiday seasons now begin
Knowing God’s love is always near
Again and Again and Again…
(In memory of Baby Sean Michael Allen 10/5/89 whose death opened my heart to a LIGHT FOR LIFE and love that is unconditional...)
We Remember Them
At the rising of the sun and at its going down,
ALL: We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter,
ALL: We remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of Spring,
ALL: We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer,
ALL: We remember them.
At the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of Autumn,
ALL: We remember them.
At the beginning of the year, and at its end,
ALL: We remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
ALL: We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
ALL: We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share,
ALL: We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make,
ALL: We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs,
ALL: We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
