Update on Services for Dad
Approaching it all with reverence.
We have new information to share with everyone. Please spread this news to anyone you might know who would be interested. As new changes are made, the link at the memorial page of the Yakima Herald will also reflect the changes (sometimes it takes them 24 to 48 hours to approve changes to those pages so please stay patient).
We are so happy to once again be fulfilling all of Dad’s wishes, and our promises to him:
Recitation of the Rosary: Friday, April 14, 2023 at 6pm.
Memorial Mass of Christian Burial: Saturday, April 15, 2023 at 11am.
—> Both at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Moxee WA.
Reception to immediately follow Mass at the Holy Rosary Hall courtesy of The Ladies of St. Anne of the Holy Rosary Catholic Parish.
Dad’s immediate family will hold a private graveside Service of Inurnment at Holy Rosary Cemetery.
For those not able to make the funeral mass itself, but would like to stay engaged, we are working on establishing a live zoom link for the mass. We will keep you posted on those developments.

“What you encounter, recognize or discover depends to a large degree on the quality of your approach. Many of the ancient cultures practiced careful rituals of approach. An encounter of depth and spirit was preceded by careful preparation.
When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things. When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.”
― John O'Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace
May we all approach our worlds with reverence—and with kindness. Always kindness.
And with Love,
Always Love.

Thank you for the information about the funeral plans. Will be on the lookout for the Zoom link.
