Field Luminaries - 2023
Read the beautiful messages of love, compassion and remembrance.
✨Charlie Rose
My beloved soul dog. May you run free and eat to your heart's content!
✨Kevin, Em, Daniel
Thank you for all you do to put the Field Luminary together. It is hard work in cold damp weather and I appreciate you. You bring to life a treasured virtual event. Thank you to anyone else who made this possible also.
✨Esther
Esther will forever hold a special place in the hearts of many people. Steve, Derek, and all of the HEEFS family member. You have made a huge difference in this world through sharing the stories of your special family members and because of your significant physical, emotional, mental and spiritual contributions. A Thank you doesn't seem adequate enough to recognize all of the love you have added to our lives but I'm sending a heartfelt thank you in a way that hopefully will make a difference!
✨Everyone at HEEFS
✨The founders, staff and volunteers at H.E.E.F.S.
