What: Visitation and funeral service:
When: July 24-25
Where: Gloria Deo Academy
3146 S. Golden Ave.
Springfield, MO 65807

Greetings, family and friends. It has already been over ten weeks since Jennifer Salamun Lotz passed away in hospice care at her home. It has been a struggle to plan a memorial service to honor and remember her, knowing that in the time of Covid it will look nothing like we want it to.

Friday, July 24th we will be having a visitation style event from 3-8pm at Goria Deo Academy in Springfield, MO. We are hopeful that many family and friends will be able to attend; it would be wonderful to see you and visit. Masks will be required, and due to limited occupancy we have a sign up sheet for time slots. Please do that here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904044facaa2fa6fc1-funeral

Saturday, July 25th will be a funeral/memorial/celebration of life service at 10am at the same location. It is heart-wrenching to announce this, but it will mostly be family and invite only. We just are not able to accommodate a large number of people at once. We will be streaming the service for those who want to view it online, so please keep an eye out for details on how to watch.

Quick request on the visitation sign ups...if you are somewhat local to the Springfield area, if possible please choose a later time so as to leave the early slots available for those who will have a several hour drive after their visit.

Love you all, thank you for bearing with me on all this. I know not everyone is on Facebook and may not have seen my post on this today, so am adding here as well.
