In Loving Memory of my Nana, Zenda Opal Wright. She was such a Blessing in my life. Born 5-1-1904, She saw and experienced so much in her 101 years here.She never judged and rarely had a harsh word. She accepted everyone just as they were and gave unconditional love. Nana was a shining example of a Christian.

The cross is lit in loving memory of my sweet little mother-in-law Rose Ferraro. She was born March 11, 1913 and passed away just a few week ago February 15, 2008. She and her twin sister, Mary were the first to be born in the US from Italy.

Her philosophy for life”share your love – love one another” Rosie knew that the true secret for happiness was in doing something for others – whether it was making her homemade meatballs and sauce, baking biscotti’s or giving hugs — and the way she lived her life illustrated this. Rosie was a hard worker – she faced every day with the love of God in her heart. She was a faithful and loyal friend, wife, mother, and grandmother. She was made out of true Italian grit and was a woman of honesty and integrity. Looking back at the events in her life, she was a beautiful light, mirrored through Christ. We all have been most fortunate to be blessed with such wonderful person, my mom. Our sweet little Rosie – we will miss you. Dominick and Mary Beth Ferraro

Happy 6th Birthday to our beautiful daughter, Grace. You are the light of our life. We thank God for you every day. How precious it is that you love the Cross, may it always light your heart.

“Today January 28,2008 the cross is lit in honor of Miguel Zavala, our father’s birthday. He has been a magnificent father and a great friend.

I am asking for the cross to be lit on January 27 in memory of Earl Nelsonƒ?Ts passing, January 27, 2005. He was the beloved father of Paige, Blake and Jill and deceased husband of Connie. Our family remembers Earl with much love and affection. He was a brave man as he fought ill health for many years. He loved his family very much and is remembered with love and respect by all who knew him. He loved his Lord and this lighting of the cross is a visible reminder of his love and devotion. Earl was a faithful husband and a loving father and grandfather. He was a good and kind man. Connie, Paige and Kelly Swan, Matt and Kathryn, Blake and Amy Nelson, Chase and Robby, Jill and David Mowell, Daemian and Hannah.

The cross is light tonight in honor of our daughter, Laura Briggs’ birthday. She was a joy to us from the moment she was born on a cold January day 22 years ago. Throughout her life she has been a light for Christ. One of the things we appreciate the most about Laura is her friendliness to everyone, young and old alike. Laura we love you and are blessed to be your parents.

“The Cross is lit tonight in memory of C. A. “Bill” Nolph, our loving husband and father, who inspired and supported us to follow our dreams, who always had a new project to research, who shared his gift of seeing the photograph with many others, and who held an abiding faith in Christ.

We can hear him say, “The peace of the Lord be with you all.”

I light this cross in honor of my wife Jill Rowley of 26 years on her 63rd birthday as she begins a new life of retirement in Wenatchee. She has been an inspiration to me and many others that she has touched and those she will touch in the future.

I would like to thank Mike Stancil and Frank Tukey and the rest of the folks at Vita Green for their effort in lighting the cross thru the holiday season, Nov 22, 2007 through Jan 1, 2008.

The lit Cross honors the 90th birthdays of our two mothers, Anita Krober and Lorraine Whiteman. They were born November 7, 1917 and February 9, 1918. They are visiting Wenatchee, having come for their grandson’s wedding. Our families have been deeply blessed because of these two remarkable ladies. The choices they’ve made and lives they’ve lived, has graced us with an incredible heritage. Their uncommon legacy stems from their long-ago choice to follow Jesus. We are grateful!

I would like to dedicate the lighting of this Glorious Cross to be in remembrance of a very special lady, my mother, Kathleen Cairy, who we lost 1 year ago today. I know she watches over us now as she always did with the Lord by her side. Mom, know that you are truly loved and missed. I also add my thanks to my wonderful husband, Stephen Sewell and my son, Steven Lindsey who never fail to be by my side.

“Today, in honor of my Grandparents, George and Hazel Brooks, the light of this beautiful cross shines down on the Wenatchee Valley. The place that they raised their children and watched grandchildren, great and great great grandchildren come into this world. Their love and guidance touched each and every one of us in a very special way. We were so blessed to have you in our lives to share with us the wonderful love of our Lord, Jesus Christ. You will never be forgotten, we all love and miss you”.

“I would like to honor our father, Greg Peterson, who passed away Nov 16. He was a man that brought out the best in everyone that he came in contact with. He loved the Wenatchee Valley, and the cross will always remind us that he is looking down over us and protecting us. On behalf of my mother Susan and my brother John, I would like to say we love you and we miss you dearly.”

“In tribute to our father, Tony DeRooy, from his children. He passed away on November 9, 2006. He is undoubtedly watching us from heaven, and the cross will remind us of his faith, and of how much he loved us, and how much we loved him.”

The Cross is lit tonight for the celebration of my fathers 75 th birthday. He has been a wonderful inspiration to me through out my life and has taught me many things to help me get through lifeƒ?Ts upƒ?Ts and downs. He hasƒ?Ýand is a great competitor on the racquetball court. Thanks for all you have done to help me become the man I am.
