Scripture passages were read by Karen Vevers (activities) and Dana Funk (Resident). A representative from each family carried a candle in short procession to a table near the altar. As chimes played, the candles were slowly extinguished, symbolizing our acceptance that our loved ones are now with God. A small reception followed.
