"When we combine our hearts and minds,
all of us thrive."
A light to remember,
to honor, to give thanks...
to brighten lives shared,
to shine with memories treasured
and to glow with thankfulness of love and compassion.


Virgie Hegg Hospice Partners would like to say thank you to all who so generously donated to this year's fundraiser, attended the Lights of Love tree lighting ceremony, purchase luminaries, and shared in the festivities held in conjunction with Cook's Country Christmas and Orr's Snow City Festival. Your support will greatly benefit local hospice patients and their families in many ways.
