Light a candle for Obama, his family and his Grandma

[Shoelace]

I'm going to light a few and hope we can light up hundreds of candles. It's a thoughtful gesture of kindness, something I think he might need to see him through his loss. It's pretty simple and straightforward. Thanks ahead fellow DUers!:grouphug:

11. Go to the 'Obama Group' and click on an unlit candle.

It will bring you to a page where you can enter a message and your initials.

21. To the PUMAs who lit candles ...

A woman died. The candles are to honor her memory and to show support for her family. Was it really necessary to add hate, bitterness and anger into a memorial? :eyes: :grr:

[Shoelace]

22. well let's ignore them and light a thousand more in honor of his Grandma!

I didn't read them. It's probably all of one person doing that I'd bet.

[greenmutha]

24. Don't read them. It will only piss you off.

One of the friends I sent the link to went there to light a candle and she alerted me to one of their horrid remarks. I won't give their words any power by repeating them here. Filthy pond scum! No respect for the dead. :puke:

23. Done.
