HOSPICE REMEMBER ME TREE & CANDLE LIGHTING CEREMONY: A WAY TO HONOR LOVED ONES

Hospice of Dickinson County’s “Remember Me Tree” is a great way to honor loved ones and help local Hospice patients.

Hospice of Dickinson County is sponsoring its annual “Remember Me Tree,” which will be on display in the foyer of the Hospice office, 1111 N. Brady in Abilene through the end of December.

Anyone may place an angel or cross on the tree in honor or memory of a loved one. Donations are accepted for the ornaments that bear the name of the person honored. For donations of $20 or more, porcelain keepsake ornaments are available.  Donations boxes will be in the foyer of the Hospice Office, 1111 N. Brady, and several businesses in town.

Proceeds from the “Remember Me Tree” benefit the local Hospice program. Carol Whitehair, Director of Hospice of Dickinson County, states, “Making a donation to place an ornament on the tree is a wonderful way to remember and honor a loved one during the holidays.  These donations directly benefit our Hospice patients and programs.”

The Candle Lighting Memorial Service is open to anyone in the community who wishes to remember loved ones who have passed. It will begin at 7 p.m. on Monday, December 8, at the Abilene Civic Center.
