Description

Hempstead, New York – Life After Loss A.N.D.R.E. will present its 2nd Annual National Day of Remembrance of Murder Victims, taking place at Kennedy Memorial Park, 335 Greenwich Street, Hempstead, NY on Friday, September 25, 2020 from 7 pm to 9 pm.

National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims was designated by Congress as September 25 in 2007. Robert and Charlotte Hullinger, of Cincinnati, formed Parents of Murdered Children following the 1978 murder of their 19-year-old daughter, Lisa, while she was studying in Germany. The annual day of observance is on the date Lisa was murdered. National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims gives all people the opportunity to remember those lost to homicide, and honor their memories.  It is important to honor the memory of victims who have been killed by violence and acknowledge the resulting long-term trauma for families, communities, and the nation. National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims is an important way to promote public awareness of the impact of violent crimes and remember loved ones.

If you have suffered the loss of a loved one directly or indirectly, please join Life After Loss A.N.D.R.E for a Candlelight Vigil and Remembrance to Honor those whose lives were lost to violence. Please wear Red/Black and Life After Loss A.N.D.R.E will be providing the Ribbons and Candles.  We are asking everyone to also wear a mask.
