Sat Dec 4, 2021 at 1pm

 There will be a celebration of life following the service at The Shore Club located in the Renaissance One Lake St. Reno. Donations to hospice or the mentally ill would be wonderful.

Enloe in Chico is a great one to think about. I’m sure all hospice would be grateful. Please come join us! Donna will be there watching everyone, just from above.

Mask and vaccination are required at the church only. I’m looking forward to seeing you all. in the Renaissance One Lake street.
