At our recent South Portland Region Memorial Service, we lovingly honored and remembered more than 270 individuals we had the privilege to care for this past year. Family members, loved ones, and guests were welcomed and thanked for attending by Suzanne Moreshead, RN, MBA, CHFP, FACHE, president of Northern Light Home Care and Hospice.

The service included a candle lighting, several speakers, special music, reading of names of those being remembered, poetry, readings, and prayers. Reverand Kenneth Wish, hospice chaplain, gave the invocation and concluded the ceremony with a benediction and prayer.

Thank you to everyone who attended this special memorial service.

Please know we provide continued bereavement support services to family and friends of those who have been a part of our Hospice Program. You are not alone, and we are here for you through your grief journey.
