Rising toward the heavens in the dark skies of Plains, lanterns were dedicated and launched last week in memory of loved ones lost and affected by cancer.
The solemn event is sponsored by the Cancer Network of Sanders County each year to celebrate the lives of those affected by cancer.
Each of the 45 lanterns launched this year included a personal, handwritten message. Each lantern sent skyward during the evening also represented a $10 donation from the person launching the lantern, raising $450.
