Event offers opportunity to remember loved ones

In November we remember in a variety of ways our loved ones who have died and are no longer with us. Students and other SMU community members who are grieving loved ones as the holiday season approaches are invited to an evening of remembrance and thanksgiving at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, in the Presidents Room.

The program will consist of several opportunities to reflect on and commemorate loved ones through readings, music, and a time for sharing of memories, stories and gratitude for the gift of our loved ones. Handouts that provide suggestions for coping with grief during the holiday season will be available.

The program is sponsored by Campus Ministry and Counseling Services. Contact Ann Gibson at Ext. 1773 or agibson@smumn.edu, or Lynn Streefland at Ext.7329 or lmstreef@smumn.edu for more information.
