2011 Tree of Love ceremony
Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011

Tree of Love ceremony: The Tree of Love is a nondenominational ceremony honoring those who have touched our lives. Local musicians and volunteers share musical selections, responsive readings, personal memories, and poems as candles are lit in memory of parents, siblings, children, spouses, and friends. Most significant, the precious names of these loved ones are read aloud. The event lasts approximately one hour.
