Those we have lost.
With the holiday season upon us, I thought maybe we could come up with a day and time to pay tribute to all of the special women we have lost on this board and their families.
I was thinking Friday the 21st at 7pm. What do you all think?

Lovely!
It is bitter sweet especially around the holidays to think of those we now
only have in our hearts.

Hi Marlys
I always wonder the same thing about time zones.
Andi told me once to always assume it is EST.
That will be 6pm my time.
Thanks again for all of those pictures.

Hey Karen! Would it work to just keep it at 7pm where ever we are. That would have 4 hours of prayer for our warrior angels! Whatever you think! I have been so blessed already to know that we will be praying for those who have left us this year! I miss them so and know that their families could use some special prayer at the holidays. Thank you for suggesting this. Just let us know and we'll light our candles and send up our prayers! ma

By the way... I love your swinging angel.
