Candlelight remembrance offers healing and hope for the grieving
Lodi Community Outreach hosted the annual Light of Hope Community Candlelight Remembrance on Friday, Dec. 9 at Lodi Funeral Home, in Lodi.
The Light of Hope Community Candlelight Remembrance, designed to promote comfort, hope and healing was an opportunity for the Lodi community to come together to honor the memory of departed loved ones.
This unique community candlelight experience featured special music by RiverBells Sacramento and Carolers In Motion, an uplifting message by Cami Ferri, an interactive community candle lighting ceremony with local Pastor Frank Nolton and a hot chocolate and cookie social.
Each guest received a special gift to honor the memory of their loved one.
“Taking time during the holiday season to remember our departed loved ones is very important. Our hope is to provide a therapeutic experience, which allows the community to come together and remember to find hope for continued growth and healing,” said Lodi Funeral Home Manager, Michael Collins.
The Light of Hope Community Candlelight Remembrance is part of many activities and events conducted throughout the year by Lodi Community Outreach, a program of Lodi Funeral Home.
