Is it ok to just make one general memory candle rather than dedicating them to specific people? Like a nice poem or something and deidcated to those who could not be with us? Just because between FH's family and mine there are alot of deceased grandparents and uncles, and I'd hate to leave someone out or something.

Re: Memorial Candle Question
I think that it is fine to have one... It can stand for 'all those we have lost along the way' or something like that.

I made three - one each for our respective fathers - and one general for everyone else.

Re: Memorial Candle Question
i think that's fine. I'm having the same problem. we both lost our fathers, but i also have an aunt i was very close to, grandparents, etc.
sometimes i think i shouldn't list the names, just do one candle in memory of all who cannot be there that day.
