Hospice Lights of Life

Hospice Lights of Life

We cherish the memories of those who are no longer with us as we share stories and speak their names. In doing so, we illuminate the past and brighten our own lives.

Each year, many also choose to celebrate the lives of loved ones they have lost by making a gift to VNA Hospice Lights of Life. Through this memorial giving program you can honor the memory of those you have loved. At the same time, you will provide essential support for VNA’s extraordinary hospice program. Your gift will enable us to continue caring for patients and their families who are in need of the physical, emotional and spiritual support that VNA Hospice provides at a most sensitive and difficult time.

Tell us the name of your loved one and we will be pleased to honor him or her throughout the year on this Hospice Lights of Life webpage. With your gift of $50 or more, we will also send you a lovely hanging crystal that will catch the light and reflect back memories of those you love.

Please join us in honoring your loved ones, as you help ease the journey ahead for so many other hospice patients and their families.

Make a gift to honor a loved one.
