Dear Friends and Family,

As the 3rd anniversary of Julia’s passing approaches this week, we want to thank you again for your generous contribution toward her memorial and for your patience as we have been working on finding a location to honor her.

After careful consideration, we have narrowed down the selection to three potential locations. One site is in Burlingame with a view of the water where a new memorial bench could be installed for 10 years or a memorial tree could be planted. The other bench location we are considering is in San Mateo and we are currently in conversation with San Mateo’s Parks Department to select a specific site.

One of Julia’s best friends, Jeannine Brady, is helping coordinate a conversation with Saint Ignatius, Julia’s High School, and we’re looking into what options we have for a memorial on campus as well. Our aim is to dedicate both a bench (either in Burlingame or San Mateo) and a memorial at Saint Ignatius and we’re continuing to fundraise to reach that goal.

Thank you again for your patience as we coordinate these memorials, we hope to have this process concluded soon. We’ll continue to update you all as we move forward and hope to have dates of dedication soon as well.

As spring flowers are beginning to bloom, we’re thinking of Julia this week and wishing you all joy, hope and peace.

Warmly,
Catherine, Nicole, Jeannine and Lisa
