NORWICH – Friends and family of Jennifer Ramsaran, a wife and mother of three who has been missing for more than two months, turned out to St. Bartholomew’s Parish Center on Saturday for a ceremonial tribute in her honor, and to spread the word of her disappearance in hopes of bringing her back home safely.

The occasion, titled “Shining Hope,” was sponsored by LostNMissing, a national all-volunteer non-profit organization committed to bringing awareness to the public while helping to find missing loved ones. The event brought out people who are closest to Ramsaran, all of whom were willing to endure the blistering cold to show their support for the Ramsaran family, and all in high spirits that Mrs. Ramsaran is someplace out there, alive and well.

Posters were distributed during the gathering which organizers encouraged be displayed throughout the community and beyond to spread the word of the missing Ramsaran to as many people as possible.

“Sometimes, people who may have answers may not realize they have them,” explained LostNMissing President and Founder Cynthia Caron. LostNMissing plays a role in more than 300 missing person cases every year, each case different in their own respects, she added. “Those who are located alive and well, and returned safely, it is because of help from the general public ... And we ask that if Jennifer is out there and is listening, don’t be afraid to come home.”
