Services at 2 p.m. Saturday - Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church

<11/4 update - viewing hours expanded per Willem's request>

Sandra's friends and family would like to invite you to come to remember Sandra and celebrate her life this Saturday November 7th, 2009 at the Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church.

There will also be a viewing for family, close friends and anyone who feels the need to say their goodbyes to Sandra from 11 a.m. nearby at the Bonnie Watson Funeral Home on Broadway and Howe street.  There is another service there from Noon to 1:15 p.m., so keep that in mind.  Bonnie Watson will allow us to use their parking lot for free, but space may be limited until 1:30 due to the other service.  Nearby pay lots are shown on the map below and there is a back entrance to the lower part of the Bonnie Watson lot from Nagel Pl.  The main church lot at the north entrance is intended only for use by family and those who require accessibility. 

If you wish to speak for more than 2 minutes, please send mail to ariev@microsoft.com and we'll get you on the speakers list.  There will be opportunities for those not on the list to share, but we're asking that you prepare your remarks and limit time to 2 minutes unless prearranged.  This should give everyone a chance to speak with even a large crowd.

There will be a reception to follow at the church hosted by the great folks at Wing Luke Elementary.

Willem and family, I am so sorry for your loss of Sandra.I didn't have the opportunity to get to know her but I can tell she was a special person just by looking at the pictures you have posted. As you may know I lost my husband to cancer 11 years ago. I remember feeling like I was in this sort of a "bubble" where I felt sort of removed from real life. I would walk into the grocery store and people would be cheerful, laughing and talking like normal. However, my world had radically changed. One thing I discoverd in the middle of this experience though was how kind people were and what a great support family and friends are. The only way I can describe grieving is that it is a "journey". You will have the love and support of family and friends and you will get through this. I an so glad you had such a special person to share your life with and I am so sorry for your loss. Hang in there-you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Charlene.

Willem and family,

Sorry for your loss.

Though I was checking this web site every day, somehow I missed the memorial service information.

I know Sandra's parents and they went to see Sandra to the hospital every day. Literary rain or shine. I remember on the heavy snow day, I saw they were walking up and down the hill to the bus stop.

Sandra was loved a lot.
