The Hospice Program of Franklin County Home Health Agency hosted the annual Community Remembrance Service on Sunday, November 11, 2007 at the Holy Angels Church in St. Albans. 

Over 125 people from our community gathered for an afternoon of remembrance featuring music, poems, reflective readings and a memorial candle-lighting ceremony to honor the memory of people we have loved and lost.  Guests shared conversation and refreshments following the service.
