Leave the Light On
Welcome to Leave the Light On, a place to celebrate the Light and life of a loved one.
Grief is love with nowhere to go. I hope this brings a little light in Celebrating and Honoring your loved one.
You are welcome to share a beautiful memory and the name of the loved one that is no longer physically here.
Together we keep the light burning in their honor.
“ Kate’s life was a testament to transformation.. to choosing light, choosing love, choosing a path that lifted not only herself but everyone around her. When she passed, she had just celebrated ten years of sobriety, a milestone she carried with pride, humility, and a quiet strength that inspired me daily.
Loving her changed, softened, expanded, and taught me how to show up with more intention, more compassion and more truth. The way she lived, the way she fought for her healing and the way she loved with her whole heart still guides me today.
I honor her by how I move through the world.
By how I love people.
By how I choose peace.
By how I keep going.
Her light didn’t leave. It shifted into the way I speak, the way I care, the way I stand in my own growth. I celebrate her life with gratitude, knowing that the love we shared continues to shape me in ways that feel sacred and lasting.
Her journey, her courage, her joy, her sobriety, her love, all of it still lives on.
Keeping her light on is not a moment, it’s a lifestyle!”
Kate’s Light
“ Bette carried a light that reached people exactly when they needed it most, including me. She loved music, loved food, and loved people with her whole heart. She never met a stranger; she met souls. Her joy was contagious, she held space so gracefully and her love something she offered freely and generously.
I celebrate her by remembering the way she lifted others, the way she made every space feel welcoming, and the way she loved love so much that it became her signature. Her spirit taught me that connection is sacred, joy is medicine, and showing up with an open heart is its own kind of healing.
Her light still moves through us in every moment we choose warmth, kindness, and openness, the very things she embodied so effortlessly!”
