MHS: Hospice Remember Me Tree & Candle Lighting Ceremony: A Way to Honor Loved Ones

Shown: 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 lobby of Memorial Hospital, 511 NE. 10^th Street, in Abilene through the end of December.

For a nominal donation, 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.  Donation boxes will be in the Caring Hearts Gift Shop at the hospital, in the foyer of the Hospice Office, and several Abilene businesses.

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 Thursday, December 10, in the lobby of Memorial Hospital. 

For more information, call Hospice of Dickinson County at (785) 263-6630.
