Our 17th Candlelight Remembrance Ceremony was held on Saturday, December 23 at 5pm  at the Virgil L. Howard Funeral Home, Kevin J. Dusenbury, funeral director/owner. We had a large turnout of family members who came to light their loved one’s candle. If there was not a family member present, our daughter, Kathryn, and our granddaughter, Gwynne, lit that candle. We keep these families that have lost a loved one this year in our thoughts and prayers. 102 candles were lit for those who passed since our last ceremony and an extra candle was lit in memory of all those we have served in the past 39 years.
