That their light may
always shine...Thank you for
joining us at 8:00 p.m. on August 12, 2006, for the Third Annual
Nationwide SMA Candle Lighting Event. August is SMA Awareness
month, and as such, we choose to use the 2nd Saturday in August every
year as a time to reflect on those lost, as well as to honor those
living daily with SMA. As this event continues to grow, we hope to
bring awareness to the public about the disorder as well as unity to the
families living with it, as we all join to spread the light of our
candles around the world. We hope you will join us next year for the
4thd Annual
Nationwide SMA Candle Lighting.
Spread the light-and the word.

We had about 30 people who attended - we did a
balloon release (with a tag with a name of an
sma child attached) and sang Happy Birthday to
Austin C who is from here who passed away last
October. We had two tables with pictures of
some of the children who passed way with a LED
candle in front of it then a real (wax) rose
candle in front of that - everyone had a candle
and lit their light from one of the candles in
front of an SMA child. We announced each
child's name, then had a moment of silent prayer
for them and all the earth angels. Next year we
will have this at the new Miracle accessible
playground! Michelle Worrellia, Annette,
Carl, Kenny & Madison Reed
