The Compassionate Friends Candle lighting

The Compassionate Friends of Southern Nevada recently held a candle lighting at St. Judes Ranch for Children in Boulder City, Nevada. This memorial for children who have died was part of a worldwide candle lighting that took place at 7:00 PM in every time zone. About 50 people attended the event in Boulder City, Nevada.

The program in Boulder City, Nevada included guest speakers, readings, poetry and music. Candles were lit from a unity candle then the name of the child was announced. After this the individual took his/her place in the group of people holding candles. The lighting of candles moved from time zone to time zone creating a wave of light around the world.

That was touching that it was done to create a wave of light for all the lost love ones.  My prayers are with the families of these children.

Steve, what a wonderful memorial that is. The loss of a child is probably the most difficult, and this is such a meaningful way to remember these children. Thank you for the post.
