Broome VFD Remembers Our Passed Loved Ones

LIVINGSTONVILLE – For our 5th annual lighting the Broome Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank all those that donated to this year’s Memory Trees.  We are illuminating 180 bulbs to remember the memory of passed loved ones.  The trees will be lit from dusk to dawn in front of our station until the morning of January 5th.  We also thank the Mountain Eagle for their continued support in graciously donating the space for this article.  My mother (Susan Baker) still inspires me to carry on this tradition and I would also like to thank all those who contributed. - Dexter Baker
