People crowded the ballroom at the Natchez Grand Hotel Wednesday night for a candlelight vigil and memorial services hosted by local churches and members of the Pro-Life community. The evening included numerous prayers to end abortion and for women faced with unplanned pregnancies. A tribute was made to the late Virginia O’Beirne who played a significant role in the local Caring Hearts Pregnancy Resource Center.
