HONESDALE, PA — Lights twinkling and sparkling, honoring or memorializing loved ones, now grace the trees outside Wayne Memorial Hospital. 

The annual Love Lites ceremony was held on December 4, and was hosted by the Wayne Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.

More than 50 people attended.

The event included a blessing by Pastor Mary Bryant of Cold Spring Chapel in Pleasant Mount, remarks from hospital CEO Jim Pettinato and holiday music presentations by the Honesdale High School Chorus. 

Love Lites was launched in 1991 as a fundraiser and a way to bring the community together during the holiday season. 

A memory book listing all the names honored with lights can be found in the hospital lobby and at www.wmh.org/wmh-auxiliary/.
