International Wave of Light Vigil 2020 - In Memory of Colt

The International Wave of Light is an annual event that takes place on 

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, October 15.  Candles are lit 

around the world in all time zones at 7:00pm and they remain lit for 

exactly 1 hour. Light a candle for your angel that was gone too soon.

My candle is lit in memory of my son, Richard Colt Hazlett.

Colt  was born on November 8, 1992.  

He passed away on March 10, 2016 after a very short,

 intense battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
