in memory of dustin lee

[mom]

His funeral, was out of state. So there having the candle light for those who couldn't get a ride,(like his class mates, etc

[Ironton Fighting Tiger]

Candlelight vigils are wonderful ways to come together after the loss of a friend and loved one.

For candlelight vigils, it is nice to use plastic, transparent, disposable cups. Make a hole big enough to fit the candle, pass the candle thru the hole. That's how people walk outside with lit candles. Don't worry, the cup won't burn easily. Safely holds the dripping candle wax for children.

From the King James version of the Bible, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

“ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

May God bless everyone at the candlelight vigil.

In memory of my mother....this is so sweet!!

The Stitcher's Prayer.

I pray that risen from the dead
I may in glory stand
A crown perhaps upon my head
But a needle in my hand
I've never learned to sing or play
So let no harp be mine
From birth until my dying day
Plain sewing's been my line
Therefore accustomed to the end
To plying useful stitches
I'd be content if asked to mend
The little angel's britches

Grief Support After the Death of a Child

"The Compassionate Friends is about transforming the pain of grief into the elixir of hope. It takes people out of the isolation society imposes on the bereaved and lets them express their grief naturally. With the shedding of tears, healing comes. And the newly bereaved get to see people who have survived and are learning to live and love again."
–Simon Stephens, founder of The Compassionate Friends

The words of TCF's Founder, Simon Stephens resonate with those who have come to The Compassionate Friends hoping to find a purpose in a life that suddenly seems so empty.

Whether your family has had a child die (at any age from any cause) or you are trying to help those who have gone through this life altering experience, The Compassionate Friends exists to provide friendship, understanding, and hope to those going through the natural grieving process.

Through a network of more than 640 chapters with locations in all 50 states, as well as Washington DC and Puerto Rico, The Compassionate Friends has been supporting bereaved families after the death of a child for four decades.
