Tonight I hold this candle

I do ASL to Alan Petersen's song, in honor and memory of Chad Gordon whose candle still burns bright throught the efforts of his Mom and Dad, Jayne and Wayne who help so many bereaved through their journey daily.

We are having a candle lighting this week for my great grandson Bryan Boykin on 8-25-10. I hope we can find a way to use this. I saw you perform it at convention in July for TCF. I lost my son 11-24-04 to multiple rare disease. I am missing him so much tonight!  I love you Galen!

Mitch,

I watched this last Christmas and now as it is one year since my son's passing. It has special meaning as Chris had aphasia and in his younger years he signed (before he was able to read lips),. I try to sing along through my tears - the words are so meaningful and go right to the heart of how I feel.

Thank you so much for putting this out for all to listen to.
