Our family will come together in a videoconference this Wednesday, April 29th, at 9:20AM (eastern standard time), to accompany Mom as she proceeds to her final resting place beside her beloved husband and parents. Participation can be done through any smartphone, computer or tablet with internet access.
After everyone is logged in at 9:20, we will accompany Mom as she is driven through the cemetery and laid to rest following a short service. A “family huddle” time will then follow, with music and group sharing of thoughts, conversation and comfort.
We would also invite participants to bring a snack, to share a nibble together at the end like Mom enjoyed in the wee hours of either end of her day.
