[livejournal.com profile] maestrateresa's funeral will be held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 6.

This is meant to be a memorial for *all* of Teresa's friends and family. Please come. Please bring your children. (There is an area at the back of the church with toys if your children get restless.) I want the church to be full.

This will be a standard Episcopalian Rite II service. The West Kingdom choir will sing. I'll be giving a eulogy, and right afterwards will be a time for people who would like to to come up and share memories of Teresa. (If you do this, please write out what you'll say in advance, and try to limit it to about two minutes, since I expect lots of people will want to talk.) This is a very inclusive church, so please don't feel uncomfortable about coming if you aren't Episcopalian.

Afterwards there will be food in the parish hall, and a chance to talk some more about Teresa and celebrate her life. If you have any mementos of her that you would like to bring and share, please do so.

Saturday, Oct. 6
2:00 p.m.
St. Mark's Episcopal Church
1957 Pruneridge Ave
Santa Clara, CA 95050

Directions from I-880:

Take the Bascom exit going South.
Make the first Right, onto Hedding St., heading West.
Hedding St. turns into Pruneridge Avenue after the second light. The church is on the right shortly after.

Let me know if I can do anything, or just bring food or whatever. We'll be there.

I've asked the Company of St. Teresa to supply the food, so if you want you can check with them to see if they need anything.

If you'd like, you can bring a photo of Teresa, or if you have any scrolls she's done, something like that. Thanks.

I will be working, but I shall be there in spirit. It is hard to lose such a fighter.

Rite ... Two?

Am I correct that "Rite II" means modern/contemporary English?

(As opposed to All those 'Thee's and 'Thous' and all that stuff that's in that 'King James' Bible, right?)

Yes, and the wording is a little different.

Duncan and I will be there.
All we have are loving memories so no tangibles.
But if there is anything we can do please let us know.

Is there a funeral home/visitation? Place to send flowers?

Date: 2007-10-02 10:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] klwilliams.livejournal.com
She's going to be cremated, and her ashes will be put into fireworks, so there isn't really a funeral home or any sort of visitation. I have no idea what to do about flowers. I'll find out.

How did she arrange the fireworks? How wonderful!

Thanks for checking on the flowers, and thanks for staying compos to answer all our questions.

In lieu of flowers, why not make a donation to any of the groups that does research to cure one of the things that Teresa had:

Hodgkin's Disease
breast cancer
diabetes
asthma
pulmonary fibrosis (lung problem)
heart valve replacement

I plan to -- but somehow flowers seem appropriate for a celebration of someone's life....

I'm arranging flowers for the funeral. If you'd like to contribute,there are a couple of things that you could do:

1) buy flowers, have them delivered to my house Friday and I will make sure they get to the services on Saturday

2) send me money and I will use that to help pay for what I'm providing/expand what I'm bringing.
