Post #18: Published Obituary

Hello Everyone,

Anita's obituary will be published in The Desert Sun newspaper of Palm Springs, California for three consecutive days starting today Wed. March 21, Thurs. March 22 and Fri. March 23. The obituary is identical to the one I posted on this blogsite except that it is accompanied with a recent picture of Mother.

After discussion among the family, Anita's ashes will not be scattered but instead will be interred at the National Cemetery in Riverside, California. John's ashes, when the time comes, will be interred beside her. This is an arrangement that both Anita and John had previously decided upon. To the immediate family's knowledge, Anita never expressed a desire to have her ashes scattered nor a place where she would want them to be scattered.

As I mentioned before, no funeral service is being planned. However, a memorial service will be scheduled at a future date that has not yet been determined. Right now, John is emotionally not inclined to think about, much less plan, a service. His view of course could change at any time, so I will keep you updated.
