ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP - - Sorrow mingled with hope as parents, grandparents and siblings meet for the Compassionate Friends monthly support-group meeting.
"Our love for our children unites us," said Herb Saari, founder of the northeast Ohio chapter, as he read the TCF Credo.
The mission of TCF is to assist families toward the positive resolution of grief following the death of a child of any age and to provide information to help others be supportive.
"We are starting our 23rd year, and to commemorate, we are going to light a candle," said Kathy Coy-Hawley, who co-leads the group with Saari.
