Laurel's Memorial Service More Details - Wed. Nov. 20, 2024.

It's Michael.

I thought those who won't be able to attend Laurel's memorial service this Saturday might enjoy seeing the poster and program we've had printed. Multiple family members were involved in the design and printing of these pieces. Thank you. I picked them up today. The printer was on the phone and pointed to the box of programs. I opened it and took off the protective cover. When I saw Laurel's beautiful face I immediately started crying. It took me completely by surprise! I just gazed at her and quietly wept while the printer finished his call. I did eventually turn the page to look at the rest of the program. Man. I did not even feel that coming. Anyway, I think the program turned out beautifully.

 

For those attending, enter through the glass doors at the rear of the building (1475 Edgewood Rd. Redwood City) and turn right. If you're early, I invite you to look at the Laurel memorabilia which will be on display. Please find a seat in the chapel by 10:50am.

 

I'm really looking forward to the service this Saturday but there are two things that will be very hard for me.

 

1. As the days go by, distraction with temporal matters keeps my mind off how much I miss Laurel. This weekend will be only about her. That is going to be emotionally very difficult with no distractions to save me.

 

2. I am going to want to have long conversations with every one of you who attend. I will wish we could just sit and get to know each other better. I will necessarily have to be brief in order to speak with as many of you as possible. Please know that I wish we had more time. I will try to actually talk to you rather than just bawl. Note: Tears of joy, tears of joy!

 

Thank you in advance for your attendance at the memorial and via Zoom. I look forward to celebrating my sweetie's life with you.

 

PS. I'm told the Zoom broadcast will be recorded for any that cannot attend but would like to view it later. I'll post details as I get them.
