Kristina Chesterman Candle Donations

I am friends with the Chesterman's who recently lost their daughter to a drunk driver. Sandra likes burning candles in memory of Kristina on her front porch. I replenish and organize her candles for her. Sandra and I both buy candles for her to burn, but we go through a lot. If you have any candles lying around your house that are old or you are not going to use, I would love to take them to Sandra. For bereaved mothers like us, the flame symbolizes the bright light that our children were on this earth. It is also calming and peaceful to sit by them (at all hours of the night) and take in their warmth as we heal, oh, so slowly. Thanks, k8 :) My address is 1131 Canton Av., Livermore
