Journal entry by Steve Warnke —
Hello everyone,
Summer winds may still be blowing into Minnesota every so often but the colors of the trees are begining to change into a beautful fall. It's been a few months now since we last had an update and each day has brought it's own challenges that we and our family continue to work through, but I am happy to write today that we finally have a day to celebrate the amazing life my mother shared with us.
We intitially had put this off in order to address the pandemic, knowning it was not yet safe, and have been watching closely the numbers in Minnesota. While we still aren't out of the woods as a country, we feel comfortable now in making this event the social celebration Janice would have loved and have a venue booked that will help accomadate where guidelines stand as of now. Thank you so much for your patience though all of this. Thus, without belabouring the point....

Please join us at 1:00pm on Thursday, October 28th at the Vandais Heights Commons for Janice's Celebration of Life. There will be a short service preceeding what we hope to feel like Janice's favorite yearly open house with appetizers, music, and most importantly the chance to talk and share stories. Dress is semi-formal. Masks are not required but encouraged and there will be space outdoors to mingle as well weather permitting.
Vadnais Heights Commons - 655 County Rd F E, Vadnais Heights, MN 55127
See you there!
