The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

A good man (continued)

We knew John would have a gracious greeting, a witty and apt (but always essentially kind) non sequitur followed by an idea for a novel and out-of-the-box (yet always exactly what we wished we had the prescience to have thought of) way to do something essential to advance our shared work on behalf of the children and families. John raised the bar for all of us because he had the vision to see what was needed, the courage to unwaveringly stand up for it, and the heart to find ways to make what often seemed impossible clear and necessary. John also had the gift of bringing people together-not a day goes by that we don't thank him for the countless colleagues we'd never known but for his genius for networking. And while John was always open to views that differed from his, he knew exactly how things work - so there was no arguing with him when he saw a way forward. As we go forward we draw on the memory of this unique good man and feel blessed to feel his presence from time to time when he drops by again.
