As we light
these five candles in honor of our loved ones,
We light one for our grief,
One for our courage, one for our memories,
One for our love, and one for our hope.
This candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of our love for you.
This candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.
This candle we light for your memory.
Remembering the times we laughed, the times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did, and
The caring and joy you gave us.
This candle is for the light of love.
It reminds us of our love for you and the memories that will last
forever.
We cherish the special place in our heart
That will always be reserved for you.
We are grateful for the gift your life brought to us.
And this candle is the light of hope.
We light this candle that your light may always shine.
May the glow of the flame be a source of hopefulness now and forever.
We love you. We remember you.
