From page 1
asville Fire Department.
On Dec. 11, agency staff
and volunteers fill the
bags with sand and place
a candle Inside. Luminar
ies are then placed on
the gravesltes of donors’
loved ones and lit as dusk
falls. Mickey says the
event truly Is a commu
nity effort.
“Agency staff and vol
unteers start lighting all
the candles around 4 p.m.
and the fire department
comes out to direct traf
fic throughout the park,”
Mickey said. “Comer
Trucking donates the
sand and local Girl and
Boy Scout troops help us
to fill the bags.”
Barringer says the
event is both a way to
honor family members
while giving back to
agencies that support the
community throughout
the year.
“My son, Brian, and his
family lost their home to
fire last year and these
agencies came to his
aid,” Barringer said.
“Each one adopted one
of my grandchildren and
helped provide Christ
mas gifts for them. They
bought clothes, bicycles
and all kinds of toys for
them. The ThomasvUle
Firefighter’s Association
also gave them a mon
etary donation. It was to
tally unexpected.
“My family ended up
having a personal need
for these agencies. You
never know when it could
be you or your family that
may need help.”
Fairgrove Family Re
source Center Director
Terri Nelson said she
was glad to be a part of
the luminary program
each year.
“All of us feel very priv
ileged that they wUl do
this so that we can help
disadvantaged people in
the area; I’m honored to
be a part of it,” Nelson
said. “Not only does it
honor our families, but it
also helps support agen
cies that assist disadvan
taged families that live in
ThomasvUle and Eastern
Davidson County.
“I think the luminar
ies are a great way to
memorialize our famUy
members that we lost. It
especiaUy touched me be
cause my mother is bur
ied there and each year I
am able to remember her
and put a luminary on
her grave.”
Those who don’t have a
loved one buried at HoUy
HUl stUl are able to par
ticipate in the program,
as those luminaries are
used to form a cross at
the entrance of the park.
“It’s breathtaking,” Nel
son said. “It’s an amazing
spiritual experience and
it can certainly put you
in the holiday spirit.”
Donations of $3 or
more are currently being
accepted at the HoUy HUl
office, Monday through
Friday from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. FamUies are limited
to five luminaries for each
grave, but any additional
donations wUl be used
for candles in other areas
of the park. Community
volunteers are needed to
help fUl and light the lu
minaries the day of the
program. Snacks and
drinks are provided to
volunteers.
“It’s a lot of candles,
so the more volunteers
we have, the easier it is,”
Nelson said.
