Journal entry by Erin Hawley —
Mom's obituary is now posted to Kravanya's website, and I'll copy the text below as well. The memorial service details are at the end, but to make it easy at a glance: it will be on Friday the 9th at St. Michael's Church in Staunton, with visitation beginning at 9:30 and the service beginning at 11. We'll also have some light refreshments and time for people to hang out in the church basement afterwards.
