Faith Walk at PG Students remember loved ones who have walked before them. By Linda Butler The walk was filled with faith, with love, and with memories. The pathway of the Pleasant Grove High School's "Faith Walk," held last Wednesday evening, was glowing with the light of over 2,000 luminaries. luminar-ies. From the front of the school toward and around the track, the way was lit for dozens of people to find and to give love, peace, and comfort. com-fort. It was a time to remember loved ones who were no longer here, and to appreciate loved ones who surround us. The passing of friend, teacher, mentor, and neighbor Sandy Fugal caused many students to ask, "What can I do?" Jon Daniels, Colton Ches-nut, Ches-nut, and Mckay Stevens put thoughts into action as they quickly organized the first "Faith Walk" at the High School. Mckay Stevens remembered attending a Faith Walk when he was younger and living in Arizona. He recalled the peaceful and loving feelings feel-ings that were present. With the help of friends, parents and members mem-bers of the PGHS Student Council, Mckay received permission to hold the Faith Walk, received donations, and purchased materials for the luminaries and over 300 balloons for a balloon launch. In just three days, the students organized and set up a touching and memorable evening. People throughout through-out the community were invited to show support for those who have lost loved ones. The original plan, said Stevens, was to honor certain families fami-lies who had lost loved ones in recent months. As they attempted to gather names, they realized that in the past year several students had lost parents par-ents and many students had lost loved ones, so the Faith Walk became a memorial walk for all those who have lost loved ones. The night was perfect for a quiet contemplative walk. Gentle breezes blew, and the clouds that threatened rain dissipated and let the light of moon and stars shine through. In addition to lining the track, luminaries lumi-naries spelled "love" on the front lawn and "faith" on the football field. "Faith," "hope," and "love" were spelled in white along the field's fence.
