We will be having a gathering at our house on Saturday, April 18th from Noon to 8:30 PM. Please drop by anytime in the afternoon to say hello and see Marion’s memorial garden which we built. Everyone, including families and children, is most welcome. Feel free to stay 5 minutes or all day. No gifts please, dinner will be a potluck. (Dad and a couple friends will be working from 10-4 on some painting, gardening and woodworking tasks if you enjoy that sort of thing then wear appropriate clothing)
If you would like to come from out of town we do have a guest room or you would be welcome to come any weekend and see the garden and visit at your leisure. Please give us a call if you are thinking of coming for the 18th.
Our thanks go out to anyone who is considering making a donation in memory of Marion. It is not expected, but would certainly be appreciated.
We have three organizations which we would like to honor:
The Family Resource Center at the Dell Children’s Medical Center
Marion spent her last 3 weeks at the Dell Children’s Medical Center where she received wonderful care from a talented team of doctors and nurses.
The family center will use the funds to buy books and DVDs for children at the Dell center. Email me if you would like to buy or donate specific movies or books for lists of desired volumes. (jeff.sumner@gmail.com)
