VNA Friends of Hospice will sponsor the VNA Tree of Remembrance ceremony on Tuesday, December 5th. The holiday season is a joyful time but it can also bring sadness and a swirl of conflicting emotions for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. Each year, VNA Hospice provides an opportunity for families to come together to remember and honor those who were special to them.
The VNA Tree of Remembrance ceremony will be at the Christ Lutheran Church located at 2610 N Campbell St in Valparaiso. Doors 1 & 20 open at 6:00 pm and the ceremony will begin at 6:30 pm. Refreshments immediately following ceremony.
Anyone in the community who wishes to remember a loved one this holiday season is invited to attend this heartwarming ceremony. Participants will receive a keepsake ornament to place on the VNA Tree of Remembrance. Ornaments are available through a donation amount of your choice, which will in turn help the VNA continue to provide hospice care to those in need.
A special slide show is presented during the ceremony, with photos of loved ones being remembered. Those wishing to have a photo in the slide show should include a photo with their donation and registration no later than November 20th. Original photos will be returned.
