Big Bend Hospice invites you to a Father’s Day Remembrance Service on Thursday, June 16th, 2011 at 6:00 PM in the conference room of the Elaine C. Bartelt Hospice Center, located at 1723 Mahan Center Boulevard. This special service will feature music, reflection and prayer and is open to the public at no charge. A candle lighting ceremony will close the service and the names of loved ones may be spoken at that time if desired. Attendees are invited to bring a photo of their loved one to display during the Service if they wish. Special children’s activities will be provided by the Caring Tree. Following the service, light refreshments will be served.
This will be the 6th Father’s Day Remembrance Service held at Big Bend Hospice. “Father’s Day is a special day of memories of my Dad, and this year I plan to share a picture of him at the service,” said Pam Mason. “I still miss his smile that would absolutely light up a room. I love the way he would get tickled while telling a joke and then laugh that contagious laugh. I miss him saying, ‘You’re the apple of my eye.’ He taught me so much about loving nature, loving animals and the people in our lives. He lives on in my heart.”
Big Bend Hospice has been serving this community since 1983 with compassionate end of life care. The Big Bend Hospice grief and loss counselors are available to provide information and support to anyone in Leon, Jefferson, Taylor, Madison, Gadsden, Liberty, Franklin or Wakulla county who is grieving.
