Candles and Causes
"Hope Has A Place"

Bonding together in Love



There are some very special people I've met on the internet--people who are suffering life-threatening diseases or injuries. As I have, they too have found the web to be a place to share their pain and grief, and in doing so, to help someone else who may face such a journey. My awareness of these people started with Missy, as I was touched by reading her journal, and inspired as I saw candles for her lighting up hundreds of web pages. This page is in memory of Missy, who passed away on June 6, 1997, and for others still in need-- let's keep them in our thoughts and prayers.
