The Compassionate Friends candlelight event

The death of a child is devastating and it’s important to the family the child always be remembered. That’s why members of the Northern Nevada/Carson City Chapter of The Compassionate Friends will participate Dec. 12 in the annual Worldwide Candle Lighting to honor the memories of all children, regardless of age, who have died.

The closest candle lighting that will be part of a special 7pm Dec. 12 service is at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 1202 N. Saliman Road in Carson City and will feature music, readings, and poems.

To contact the Northern Nevada/Carson City Chapter of The Compassionate Friends, call Delores Sherman at (775) 849.1979 or check out TCF’s national website.
