Walter

They met at a church potluck over the last slice of rhubarb pie and were married for fifty-one years.

In lieu of flowers

Margaret asked that friends give to the Lakeside Library's children's reading fund, where she spent so many happy years.

Good to know

What should I wear?

Whatever is comfortable. She loved color, so bright is welcome.

Can I bring children?

Of course. There will be a quiet corner with books and crayons.

Can I say a few words?

Yes. There is time after lunch for anyone who would like to share a memory.
