Tree of Life Tree Lighting and Memorial Service May 22, 2024 | Washington Park You live in the hearts of those you love

Farewell My Friends Farewell My Friends It was beautiful As long as it lasted The journey of my life.

I have no regrets Whatsoever said The pain I'll leave behind.

Those dear hearts Who love and care...

And the strings pulling At the heart and soul...

The strong arms That held me up When my own strength Let me down.

At the turning of my life I came across Good friends, Friends who stood by me Even when time raced me by.

Farewell, farewell My friends I smile and Bid you goodbye.

No, shed no tears For I need them not All I need is your smile.

If you feel sad Do think of me For that's what I'll like When you live in the hearts Of those you love Remember then You never die.

Hospice of Dubuque honors veterans with compassionate end-oflife care that recognizes their service and sacrifice.

The Hospice of Dubuque Staff and Volunteers are committed to doing everything we can to make veterans' final days as comfortable and meaningful as possible.

We thank all veterans for their service.

The Tree of Life A beautiful katsura tree in Washington Park serves as the Tree of Life. Through every season, this tree stands as a symbol of hope and healing. The tree’s branches represent the communities that make up our tri-state service area, and its roots remind us of the ties that bind us into a larger supportive community. The heart-shaped leaves change color throughout the year, demonstrating the unique and changing seasons of life.

The Tree of Life serves as a symbol of the cycle of life, a tribute to those we have lost, and a reminder that memories live forever. How appropriate that we light this tree during Memorial Day to honor and remember those we love.

This year, over 3,000 lights adorn the Tree of Life, which will remain lit throughout the holiday weekend. Thank you for joining us to remember and celebrate the lives of your loved ones.

A special thank you to...

•

Megan Gloss for sharing her journey through grief and the healing process.

•

Lexi Healey & Laura Siebert for uplifiting us with beautiful music.

•

Biechler Electric, Inc. and Jerry Unsen for assisting in assembling the Tree of Life display.

•

Behr's Funeral Home for sponsoring advertising of this year's Tree of Life and funding the printing of this program.

•

Lange Sign Group, Inc. for the installation of the Tree of Life signage.

•
