Candle ceremony:
1. We light this candle in your memory. We will never forget the times we laughed or disagreed, the fun times, or the memories we made. We carry you with us, always.

2. We light this candle for the emptiness we feel without you. The pain of missing you reminds us of the depth of our love for you. We wish you were here with us, and we remember you.

3. We light this candle for hope. We remind ourselves that feelings are not forever. When living without you feels like too much, may we trust we will feel hopeful again.

4. We light this candle for love. We remember our love for you and yours for us. May the love you brought to this world shine in us for each other.
