Dear Friend,
Duke Hospice Bereavement Services invites you to participate in our Seventh Annual Lights of Remembrance on Tuesday, December 10, 2013. Lights of Remembrance provides a unique opportunity for each of us to remember and celebrate those who have died, but remain forever in our hearts. Luminaries, honoring those who have gone before us, will be lit in celebration of the love and light that these folks brought into our lives. Memorial placards inscribed with a tribute authored by family and friends will be placed with the luminaries, and can be taken home as a keepsake of this beautiful evening. Memorial programs will also be available.
The luminaries will be lit from 6:00pm – 7:30pm, creating pathways of light and love that can be walked through at your leisure, as you remember the moments of joy and laughter that have graced your life. A brief memorial service will be held at 6:30 pm, which you may choose to attend. It is our hope that the brilliance of the luminaries and the warmth of your memories will remind you of the enduring power of the relationship you have with those who have died.
A minimum donation of $30.00 is required for each luminary you dedicate in memory of a loved one (all proceeds benefit our bereavement services). Your donations will be used to help Duke Hospice Bereavement Services continue to provide bereavement support to all members of our community. Our individual counseling sessions, support groups, and Services of Remembrance are available to anyone in the community, regardless of whether or not our hospice services were used. Our outreach to local school systems provides grief support for over 100 children and teens each year through support groups and individual counseling. Donations are gratefully accepted, even if you are unable to participate in the Lights of Remembrance event. We appreciate your support in meeting the needs of grieving people in the Triangle community.
On December 10, 2013, memories, candles, and serenity will illuminate the pathways of the Carver Gardens behind the Unicorn Bereavement Center, located at 1001 Corporate Drive in Hillsborough, North Carolina. We hope you will join us in walking these pathways, as we celebrate the lives of the special people who have enriched our lives. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dale Horton at 919.479.0318.
Sincerely,
William Holloman
Bereavement Services Manager, Duke Hospice
