While celebrating with her family in Vermont Rosalie Kerr had a fall that resulted in her breaking two vertebrae and her sternum. She is at Dartmouth Hitchcock hospital where they surgically repaired the sternum yesterday. Now that is complete they will focus on her spine. This candle is a request for our congregation’s sweet, healing thoughts for Rosalie’s comfort and healing. Actual cards can be send to Rosi Kerr: 41 Old Moses Farm Rd

Thank you.

This candle celebrates the life of Thelma Burns. Miss Burns was Belmont’s METCO director in the 1990’s. During her tenure she nurtured the Boston students and provided opportunities for Belmont families to connect with them. Those ties remain strain today. After retiring from Belmont, Thelma became a full time activist for underserved communities in Boston. The extent of her contributions was lauded by Ayana Presley and Michelle Wu who spoke at the funeral.
