Five Candles
As we light these five candles in honor of you,
we light one for our grief,
one for our courage,
one for our memories,
one for our love,
and one for hope.

This candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.






This candle represents our courage.
The courage to confront our sorrow,
to comfort each other, and to change our lives.






This candle is in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
the times we cried,
the times we were angry at each other,
the silly things you did,
and the caring and the joy you gave us.






This candle is the Light of Love.
As we enter the holiday season,
day by day we cherish the special place in our hearts
that will always be reserved for you.We thank you for the gift
your living brought to each of us.






And this candle is the Light of Hope.
It reminds us of love and memories of you
that are ours forever.
May the glow of the flame be our source
of hopefulness now, and forever.






We love you.

We miss you.
