On Monday night, the Lee County Homeless Coalitioin honored those homeless people who have died with a vigil. A memorial day, of sorts, for the lives lost.
27 candles were lit and placed into 27 white paper bags with all 27 names of the homeless people who have died in Lee County.
The Lee County Homeless Coalition has held this vigil every year for the past 24 years. But, some of the homeless say that something needs to be done to make sure no more people die.
