Mother's Day Remembrance Service at Big Bend Hospice

Big Bend Hospice invites you to a Mother’s Day Remembrance Service on Thursday, May 6th at 6:00 PM in the conference room of the Elaine C. Bartelt Hospice Center, located at 1723 Mahan Center Boulevard. This special service will feature music, reflection and prayer and is open to the public at no charge. A candle lighting ceremony will close the service and the names of loved ones may be spoken at that time if desired.

Our Remembrance Quilt will be available if anyone wishes to write a message in memory of a loved one. Special children’s activities will be provided by the Caring Tree. Following the service, light refreshments will be served.

The first Mother’s Day Remembrance Service was held at Big Bend Hospice 5 years ago. “I appreciate that even though my Mother passed away several years ago, I can celebrate her life at this Remembrance Service,” said Mary Powell. “I attend each year, and proudly say her name aloud as I light a candle in her memory.”

Big Bend Hospice has been serving this community since 1983 with compassionate end of life care. The Big Bend Hospice grief and loss counselors are available to provide information and support to anyone in Leon, Jefferson, Taylor, Madison, Gadsden, Liberty, Franklin or Wakulla county who is grieving.
