Chris and I spent yesterday planning Bea's memorial service and have most of it planned out pretty firmly.
DATE: Sunday, December 30
TIME: 3:00 pm
LOCATION: St. Catherine's Episcopal Church in Marietta, GA.
571 Holt Road - Marietta, Georgia 30068
RECEPTION AFTER SERVICE: After the service a reception will be held in the church hall offering some simple refreshment and a nice place for everybody to spend time together.
ALL ARE WELCOME, including children. If you plan to bring a child or children please note that it will be a fairly long service. Feel free to bring a snack or something quiet they can do if they have a hard time with the time.
CHILDCARE: This has still not been confirmed so I would assume that a staff member of the church has not been found to watch children during the service. Children are still welcome but they will remain with you during the service.
FLOWERS: Flowers will not be displayed in the sanctuary at St. Catherines.
We would prefer that in lieu of flowers being sent to our home or to the church that you consider donating to one of a few worthy causes on behalf of Beatrice.
