Funeral Tomorrow

Funeral Tomorrow

As a reminder, Mom's funeral tomorrow will start at 1:15 PM at Riverside National Cemetery.

First, we will assemble at a staging area designated by the cemetery (you will get the information on the staging area at the guard shack at the cemetery's entrance). From there, we will be led to either the gravesite (where my dad is already buried) or a services kiosk. It is unclear at present where the services will be held.

You can reach the cemetery from either the 91 Freeway (go east after exiting) or Interstate 215 (go west after exiting) at the Van Buren Ave. exit in Riverside.

I will be getting to the cemetery at least an hour early so I can discuss the grave marker inscription with cemetery officials. It should be a beautiful day tomorrow with fresh snow on the mountains. Mom would've liked that!

Anyone who wishes to speak during the services are welcome to do so.

Following the services, we will proceed to Maria and Fred Malone's in Wildomar (Lake Elsinore area) for a get-together. All attendees are invited. Fliers will be handed out at the services on how to get there (we will caravan there anyway). From what Maria tells me, it is only about 20 minutes away from the cemetery. They know a shortcut via Scott Road.

We'll see you tomorrow.
