What
We want to celebrate
Jno's life.
Please join us at a casual gathering where everyone can be together and
share their stories. We'll have food and drink to enjoy, memorabilia to
peruse, and a slide show of photos. After we've had time for people to
arrive, the family will say a few words and share some memories before
passing the mic around to anyone who wants to share their stories. We
want to hear from you! Jno has touched so many lives and any one of us
in attendance has only seen a fraction of the whole.
Please tell anyone you think should know about this event. We've tried
to reach as many people as we can, but we worry we may have missed some.
Also, please check back here for updates regularly.
If you have a few photos you'd like to have included in the program
(or if you have any questions) please send them to
Kees ahead of time.
We're looking forward to sharing this time with you.
-- Claudia, Mary, Karen, Pete, George, Jay, & Kees
