Angel Mooney (on the right) and her mother Vicki Haynes collect their ornament at last year’s Hospice of the Carolina Foothills Tree of Life celebration. This year’s celebration takes place Tuesday, Dec. 14 from 56 p.m. at the Hospice House in Landrum. For the 11th year, folks will come together to remember and honor loved ones far and near. The community is invited to observe this tradition: lighting the Tree of Life, adorned with special ornaments hand-inscribed with the names of loved ones. The evening will also include special music by the Chapman High School Chamber Singers, caroling, and homemade treats. (photo submitted)
