What a lovely thought Lems. I too have been very touched by Jennifer's loss, and have been with her from the beginning when she first came online to tell us about it. Pity I missed it, as I would have lit a candle too.

Thankyou to everyone who joined to light a candle, lovely to think you all took a moment to think of Jennifer and her son Stephen, and also bringing a light back for people lost to yourselves. This sort of attitude is what keeps our world ticking over, people like you all who wanted to shine a light for others, thankyou all XXXXX

I have just read this message. It brought tears to my eyes. I will now light my candle and think of others. I lost my step-father 7 years ago on 2nd January. It has made me think of him. I had him home from the Hospice so that he could spend his last Christmas at home. Sue
