For more information on the Worldwide Candle Lighting Caitlin Alexandra Dunbar
March 9, 1989—December 28, 2004
A memorial service in celebration of Caitlin’s life was held on December 31, 2004, at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Olney, Maryland. Caitlin was cremated. Her ashes were interred on March 5, 2005, in the memorial garden at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Brighton, Maryland. Caitlin’s message to all of us is, "live life to the fullest, every day, with love and laughter." This site is dedicated to keeping Caitlin's memory alive for all who knew her. It is also here for others who may have experienced a similar loss. May peace be with you. Alex and Marty

Everyone is invited by The Compassionate Friends to participate

children who have died, regardless of age or cause of death. The candle lighting, which lasts for
one hour, begins officially at 7 p.m. local time and hundreds of events open to the public are
planned throughout the day.
Our beloved daughter, Caitlin,
died of, previously undetected, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL),
on December 28, 2004. Her death was sudden and totally unexpected.
The leukemia diagnosis was made less than 24 hours earlier. Caitlin
died peacefully and without suffering.
