Letters to the editor: Community supports hospice
We wish to say thank you to the community for its support of the 2004 Hospice Tree of Life. The tree-lighting ceremony that took place Nov. 30 was both meaningful and beautiful. The tree spoke to our community's financial support for the extraordinary care of hospice. Thank you to the donors who remembered a deceased loved one or who honored a living loved one with their gifts. More than 400 names were added to the name book throughout the holiday season. The Tree of Life is a testimony to our community's continued support of hospice and stands as a beautiful symbol of the holiday season.
