The holiday season is normally a time of joy, but when someone you love has died, it can be a time of loneliness and pain.

An ornament, personalized with the name of the loved one, will be given to put on the Remembrance Service Christmas tree.

What year did you graduate from Ada High School?
I am a proud member of Ada High School’s Class of 2013.

Can you remember who you sat beside in first grade?
• Hmm, that is a tough one, but I am fairly certain Russell Gray sat behind me at some point in Mrs. Beckley’s first grade class. I do remember a time where I turned around to tell him he was bugging me and to please stop but it just so happened to be the day where we were learning about insects so my comment only seemed to add fuel to his fire that day.

That's "Kerfluffel,' looking at your. It's the Ada Public Library's mascot, purchased during this past fall's Harvest and Herb Festial.

Looks like it didn't make it. One million year old comet Ison apparently disintegrated on its trip around the sun on Nov. 28.

According to USA Today: Like Icarus, comet ISON appears to have flown too close to the sun and broken up in its corona.

Scientists had hoped that the comet from the farthest reaches of the solar system would be able to slingshot around the sun Thursday and emerge streaming a tail visible to the naked eye next month.
