"Candle in the Wind" is a song with music by Elton John. It was originally written in 1973, in honour of Marilyn Monroe, who had died 11 years earlier.
In 1997, John performed a rewritten version of the song as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales. This version of the song was released as a single, and reached No. 1 in many countries, proving a much greater success than the original, officially being listed as the highest selling single of all time.

| Candle in Heather's window |
The Tradition of placing a Candle in the Window goes back to the Colonial times in the United States and back much further in time for other cultures. It is a Tradition practiced throughout the year. It symbolizes the warmth and security of the Family hearth and signals loyalty to Family members and loved ones who are not present in the home.

| May this light remind every one about cancer and the loss |
The green bulb is the color for Lymphoma and so I begin these 33 days with the green since that is what we thought she had at first. I have an orange bulb to represent the Leukemia. I figure since Heather had both forms of cancer it would be only fitting to have 2 different colored bulbs to shine from her window. Now people can wonder what does the light mean.
