The 13th Annual Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting unities family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age and from any cause. As candles are lit at 7 pm local time, creating a virtual wave of light, hundreds of thousands of people commemorate and honor children in a way that transends all ethnic, cultural, religious and political boundaries. The North Georgia Mountains Chapter of The Compassionate Friends invites everyone to join us for this event in Blairsville.
