We light this candle to honor Eric Nelams.

Today he should be celebrating his 55th birthday, however his life was taken much too soon.

On September 26, 2003, Eric was shot outside of his home in Phenix City, Alabama. Witnesses saw multiple people running away from the scene yet no arrests have been made.

Please join us in lighting a candle to honor Eric and share a photo on social media to help spread awareness that after over 22 years his family is still fighting for justice.

Memorial Day carries stories that live far beyond history books.

Today, Memorial Day stands as a national reminder of the lives lost in military service and the families forever changed by that sacrifice.

Behind every flag placed at a cemetery is a name. A family. A future altered forever.

As we gather with loved ones this weekend, may we also take time to remember those who gave everything and the families who continue to carry their memory forward.

National Missing Children’s Day was established more than 40 years ago after the disappearance and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh, a case that changed how the nation responds to missing children and inspired lasting reforms in child safety and victim advocacy.

Every May 25, families, advocates, and communities pause to recognize the children who are still missing and the loved ones left searching for answers.

Behind every missing child poster is a real family living through unimaginable uncertainty. Some cases receive national attention. Many do not. But every child is equally deserving of urgency, visibility, and continued effort.

Today is about remembrance, awareness, and refusing to let these children’s stories fade into silence.

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit People.

This is a crisis rooted in systemic racism, broken systems, and generations of erasure. Navigating advocacy means sitting with uncomfortable truths and this is one of them.

🎧 We encourage you to listen to Indigenous voices
🧵 Wear red if you can.
💬 Talk about it. Share it. Demand Change.

Every story deserves to be heard. Every life deserves to be found.

Today, and everyday, we remember Kiplyn Davis.

On May 2, 1995, 15 year old Kiplyn vanished in Spanish Fork, Utah.

Despite a conviction, those responsible for Kiplyn’s disappearance have never truly been held responsible. A plea deal was taken without the perpetrator needing to reveal where Kiplyn’s remains are located.

More than 31 years have passed since Kiplyn was last seen and her family still leaves the porch light on for Kiplyn.

In honor of Kiplyn, we wear blue and are lighting a candle today.

If you have any information about Kiplyn’s disappearance or the perpetrators involved. Please contact the Spanish Fork Police Department at 801.798.5070.
