Light up a Life 2022 Breathe deeply and let your heart be filled with memories of your loved one.

Warm Greetings to This Special Time of Reflection

On behalf of our entire staff and Samaritan Foundations, we welcome you to our 2022 Light up a Life ceremony.

We take this time to honor and remember the patients we have served in hospice during the past year. We also remember loved ones from our community, whose names have been submitted to us for recognition. 

We thank you for partnering with us to care for your loved one at the end of their life. Our Samaritan mission of “Building Healthier Communities Together” is never far from our practice as we care for patients and families. We are humbled by the trust you have placed in us as we strive to bring compassion and respect to every patient visit. Thank you again for your trust and support.

We Remember Them

At the rising of the sun and at its going down

We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter

We remember them.

At the opening of the buds in the rebirth of spring

We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and the warmth of summer

We remember them.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn

We remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends

We remember them.

When we are weary and in the need of strength

We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart

We remember them.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make

We remember them.

When we have joy we crave to share

We remember them.

When we have achievements that are based on theirs

We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live;

for they are now a part of us as we remember them.

Thank you for your support of Samaritan Evergreen Hospice
and your participation in this treasured event.
