'Tis the season for so many people who gathered on Tuesday to honor their loved one with the first tree lighting ceremony in Stockton.
"He had a great smile," Chris said. "He was just so fun to be with, and so he was always there to help. He was good at drawing. He drew really well and knew how to actually put electronic stuff together. So I miss that. I wish, 'Oh, gosh, Greg, how do I do this?' "
"To believe in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to know that this life is so short but our eternal life is forever, and that part is just wonderful," Chris said. "I just hope everyone can find it in their hearts to believe that there really is a Jesus."
Sandy Stoddard, the marketing director of Hospice of San Joaquin, said it costs $1.8 million a year to run the hospice house, so their biggest fundraising event honoring loved ones is "critical" for them.
People can purchase a light for a minimum of $5, and volunteers from Pacific Gas & Electric will ensure their loved one's light is lit up.
For Beth Wayne, she was honoring her precious mother, Gretchen Smith.
Norma Gonzalez said it was a great honor to be at this event, remembering her father, Brigido Gonzalez.
It's their 37th annual Tree of Lights fundraiser, and if you'd like to honor your loved one, you can still buy a light through the end of December and they'll ensure your loved one's name makes it on the board.
