Arlene's Funeral Service
This page has been put up as a central repository of information
relating to funeral services for Arlene Wong, my mother, who passed
away from complications due to cancer on December 26th, 2003. The
navigation chrome to the left should disappear when this page is printed.
Note: These are the official
instructions; they should not change any further.
Plans
We plan to have four main events. All four are open to the public;
friends, family, friends of the family, and others are welcome to
attend.
- A visitation, 18:00 - 21:00, December 30th, Lima Family Mortuary
- The service, 09:00, December 31st, Lima Family Mortuary
- Burial, 10:30, December 31st, Alta Mesa Cemetery
- Lunch after the burial at Ming's Restaurant
Places
There will be three stops; instructions are provided below. Note
that the actual routes from stop to stop are not likely to change; however,
for those who come from afar, some instruction is better than none
at all. Please note that these instructions have not yet been checked
thoroughly, although I believe them to be correct.
