Please come to the Memorial Service in Florida.
It will be November 29, Saturday (the Saturday after Thanksgiving) in Fort Myers, Florida, at Lee Memorial Park, at 11:00 AM. We will be at the site where the Veteran's Memorial is located, they call it, "Lee Memorial Gardens".

We will have the Memorial Service near the Veteran's Field of Honor. A Honor Guard will be there. I will attempt to sing for my dad (he wanted me to, and I really think I'm going to have a hard time, but will try for him), and shouldn't be more than 40 minutes long. We want it to be the same length that a Veteran's Memorial Service is. My father and I went to Memorial Services in honor of Veterans since I could remember. It became tradition for us. So, we're doing it at this location to honor that tradition.
Afterwards, we will have a gathering at the Lehigh Acres American Legion, but I still haven't finalized all of that, have to make sure it's ok with the Legion. But, we'll definitely be going somewhere afterwards. I will keep you posted. I really want as many of you to come, especially those of you here in Florida.
We are having more of a private service up in New York for family, where my father will be buried. I will be staying in Newburgh over the weekend during the Friday night Visitation and Saturday Funeral Mass at the catholic church, Sacred Heart, in Newburgh. If you are near New York, and you want to attend, let me know, and I will get you the details.
Love to all. I hate to ask for financial help, but I just didn't know where else to turn.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH... I will repay you all somehow... even if it's just $10, or $6, every little bit counts. Our flight expenses alone for the five of us to travel up to New York is $1100 for the five of us. We still have to find ways to pay for the services up in New York. Thankfully, Dad chose to be cremated, which is what I want, as well, when it's my turn, but it made things alot less expensive. Thanks again...
Love,
Bea
