On Sunday, remember loved ones in Leesburg with a light in their honor.
During the holidays, many people like to take the time to remember or honor loved ones.
One way to do that is through the Lights of Love Program, sponsored by the Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital.
They will be hosting a special tree lighting ceremony at 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2, in the atrium of Inova Loudoun Hospital’s Lansdowne Campus.
