Wind River Candle Lighting

At the end of each year we take an evening to light candles and remember the Wind River friends we've lost.   We read the names out loud of ALL of our Wind River Alumni who have passed over the years (over 130), plus names of loved ones given to us by you, our extended family. This year we celebrated these lives with 30 of their friends and family members at a special candle lighting in Charlotte.
 
In 2017 we have added to our remembrance the following Wind River alumni:
 
April Brown, Doc (Charles) Mahaffey, Mea Pierman, Karson Beatty, Allie Vreeland, Amy Berry, Susan Nyman, Stephanie Bulla, Gabe Spil, Bambi Braun, Maria Thompson, Pat McKinney, Tina Jones, Kathy Rose, Gwen Turner, John Broder, Laura Whittaker, Charlotte Barbagallo
 
We are blessed to have known them and honored to remember them...

For short testimonials about and photos of each of these amazing individuals, visit our In Loving Memory page.

Wind River Holiday Angels

Special THANK YOU to our 46 Wind River Angels, for bringing smiles and some joy to survivors in need this holiday season.   

This was our second year of creating a giving tree of sorts which we call Wind River Holiday Angels, where a stranger reaches out to a survivor with a note, small package or meet-up, offering only their heart and hope. 

Quote from Angel Recipient 2017:
 
I can't describe how much this gift played into the magic of Christmas!   Especially that this love and support was totally unexpected!
