Journal entry by Melissa Rikal —
Hello to our beloved family and friends. We have planned Demi’s celebration of life for the evening of October 8. The event will be at a venue in Nashville and has a limited capacity so we are utilizing an evite process for RSVPs. If interested in attending please email me at melissarikal@gmail.com and I can send a formal evite. Also, thank you to those who have sent The Invisible String book for donation to the kids on her unit in Demi’s honor. FYI for those who haven’t seen but this information is posted on our meal train page. We have been so humbled by the amount of books we have received and already brought a large donation up to the hospital for which they were so grateful. This was a very therapeutic experience for us to be able to give back. I know these books will have a lasting impact for families going through similar battles as we faced. I am hoping to come up with a formal donation site soon to make this process easier, so stay tuned. Thank you for all the cards, texts, prayers and acts of kindness these past few weeks. We feel so loved and supported which brings some comfort amidst this unimaginable loss. ❤️ Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
