Holiday Tradition of Honoring Your Loved Ones
"When you donate to the Tree of Lights, a dove-shaped ornament with the name of your friend or family member will be hung on a tree in the lobby of the
Cheboygan Community Medical Center for all visitors to admire," said Brenda Butts, McLaren Cheboygan Campus Guild President. "I give to the Tree of Lights every year in memory of my family members. It's a great way to honor them at the holiday time."
