WINTER: An Evening of Remembrance
During the holiday season we reflect on the importance of sharing the love that we feel for others. Heart of the Redwoods Community Hospice invites you to honor the living or remember the special people in your life who have died. The honored person will be commemorated on a hand folded origami crane that will be displayed in the windows of Karen Miclette Insurance, Humboldt Hunnies Day Spa, and North Valley Bank from December 1st until December 31st. Hospice hosts a gathering of community members to celebrate the season and honor loved ones. Good food and music.
