Visitation Today

Today the public events begin. I'm juggling 3 phones, finishing the music selections for tomorrow, eating breakfast and feeding Daisy.

So many ask what they can do, and now my answer is this: please don't disappear after Tuesday. Or next week. We are overwhelmed with the love and support we've received in the past few days, but the real healing begins after the services.

Again, visitation is today 5-7 pm, Shinn Funeral Home. If flowers are going to be sent, they should probably be there before 4. After that, in lieu of flowers, please donate to the memorial fund.
