Hi Everyone! We hope all of you are well. As they say goes, “timing is everything” and with the current state of things in the world, we wanted to reach out to everyone concerning Dad's services. His visitations are schedule on Tuesday with his service and burial on Wednesday. During this Corona Virus crisis, we completely understand if you are unable to attend and know our family is in your thoughts and prayers. If you do decided to come, we are following the “Social Distance” rules and ask not to hug or shake hands with anyone. This will be challenging as it is human nature to offer physical comfort but, it is for the protection of all. For those of you that can't make it, there will be a live video stream available on You Tube, through Sunset Memorial's site, of his service. It will remain there for some time.
Thank you all for all the kind words, texts, phone calls, and prayers. We have appreciated every single one of them.
