The names of those who were served by Rock River Hospice and Home will be read. Staff will lead memorial readings and meditations in this nondenominational service. Refreshments and fellowship will follow. Anyone who is grieving a loss is welcome to attend this special time of reflection, regardless of whether hospice services were used.
