"The reason I look forward to the Remembrance Ornament is the look on my Mom's face every Christmas morning when she opens the package. I buy at least two ornaments in memory of my Dad who passed away almost 13 years ago. My Mom always gets the first one. The moment she opens that gift on Christmas morning a special warmth seems to fill the room. Tears form in her eyes and an unspoken message passes among my sisters and I. She then hangs it on the tree along with the ones from past years. The ornament seems to bring us all together for the day. It is an incredible feeling. And the fact that all proceeds benefit home care and hospice services is an added special bonus." - Cindy Labonte
