Dedham Residents Invited to Public Vigil for Newtown Victims
Everyone is invited to meet around the Christmas tree in Dedham Square for a vigil to pray for the victims of the Newtown School shooting.
The organizers of the event will hang 26 angels on the tree to represent each life that was lost during that tragic day. But participants are invited to make/bring their own angels to hang on the tree as well.
The vigil will take place at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 18.

My friend Dick Smitley called me on Sunday and asked if I would help him put 26 Angel on the Christmas Tree in Dedham Square and I agreed. The next question was where do we get 26 Angels? I put a posting on Facebook and many friends and family members started offering all kinds of Angels. We were going to put them up today after work, but Dick isn’t feeling very well, so we going to put them up tomorrow. We are just a couple of good friends who want to pay our respects to the victims of the Newtown School shootings. We welcome all who would like to join us and offer a hand or to put up your own Angel.
Thank you all for your kindness and support.

Chuck - How very kind and thoughtful of you and your friend, Dick. My daughter and I will definitely be attending and will bring an angel to place on the tree.

I can't attend at 3PM because I'll be picking up my kids from school, but I will stop by earlier in the day and add an angel. Thank you for doing this. If you need help during the day, post a comment and I can stop by.
