The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

Maybe you know what I tough time I'm having still, remembering your last hours with us, not as peaceful as I had prayed. I hope you felt me holding your hand and your face, I hope you heard me talking of memories past, and how many times I said I loved you. I keep seeing your eyes that couldn't see me, but I hope that you felt my presence. I hope you know you were not alone. Dan and I fought like hel* to be able to keep you at Kingsway which you called home, but it was not to be. I hate that you had to go to the Albany County Nursing Home, it was awful there, except for Frank the nurse who had a big heart and helped as best he could. I feel so much guilt that I did not bring you home with me. I know Dan is right that I probably could not have done it, but in my heart I wish I tried. They say time helps heal the pain of loss, but my healing has not begun. I know you are in a better place where loved ones welcomed you with joy and smiles. And I hope that soon my heart can heal, even just a little bit, because I know you wouldn't want to see me in pain with so many tears. Dan and I miss you so much.
