Memorial Service on Wednesday, April 13, 2011

Thank you to all of our friends for your support.

The family is united in their strong belief that Vi passed away peacefully, under the best of circumstances given the challenges of ALS. While we are all saddened and feel loneliness at times, we have a deep sense of peace, understanding that the family, friends and caregivers all came together over the last 7 years to provide the best for Vi.

Thanks to all of you from Vi (and the family).

The memorial service events have been scheduled and are as follows.
