Specifics:
Everyone is invited, this will be a casual affair held at Sofia's grave site.
We will start by reading from a box of notes started by her doctors and nurses. We encourage anyone who wants to add a note to the box to bring it and read it themselves and then place it in the box or give it to us before the reading and we will read it for you. Those who cannot attend in-person can send us thier note and we will add it in and read it for them. The notes can be anything, a cherished memories, a funny dad joke, a poem, whatever your heart wished so send out to Sofia.
After the reading we will be placing her ashes in the site one at a time, we will have small viles of her ashes for anyone wanting to be a part of laying Sofia to rest.
