Special Events
We need not walk alone. We are The Compassionate Friends.
Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but
rather openings where our loved ones shine
down to let us know they are happy.

    open field and watch our balloons dance,
    swirl and twirl their way upwards - please
    join us!

Worldwide Candle Lighting Event
Sunday December 9, 2012
7 PM
This event is part of TCF’s Worldwide Candle Lighting
that begins in New Zealand and works its way around
the globe, one time zone after another.

People are encouraged to light a candle at 7pm in their time
zone to create a symbolic wave of light circling the planet in a
24-hour period in memory of deceased children everywhere.

If you can't make it to a candle lighting event, please light a
candle wherever you are!
May their light always shine...
