Many of you have been inquiring on how we will be honoring and celebrating Byron's life ...

We are having a private graveside service for our immediate family.  A Memorial Service is planned for all on June 5 at Sonrise Church (more details to come.)  This service will be indoors, so COVID precautionary measures are recommended.  We will also be live streaming the service on Facebook and YouTube (links to come) for those of you who are out-of-town or who are still practicing COVID isolation precautions.  A second Memorial/Reunion event will be planned in Southern California for all of Byron's family and loved ones (more details to come.)  Thank you again for the outpouring of love!  Thank you for all the food, flowers, cards, messages and love you are sending us.  Your caring and love for Byron is what is lifting us up and helping us take each step forward.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
