1.1 - Funeral Details

Here are the confirmed details for Mom's funeral services. We have the Ark City / Winfield reception location pending, but otherwise are fairly set now. Feel free to use the earlier posted bereavement travel desk. I used them and secured some good flight times, costs, and flexibility (no cost for flight changes), but I know some others got better flight times directly through the airlines. These details will also be in tomorrow's Kansas City Star obituary with the accompanying picture in Monday's paper.

Tues, 1.4
- 5 - 8 PM: Visitation and Rosary at McGilley & Hogue Chapel in Overland Park - 8024 Santa Fe Drive
- 6 PM: The Boy Scouts will perform the Mic-o-say memorial ceremony (all are welcome)
- 7 PM: Rosary

Wed, 1.5
- 10 AM: Funeral at Church of the Ascension (9510 W 127th St)
- Reception following at the church

Thurs, 1.6
- 10 AM: Meeting at Swisher-Taylor funeral home in Winfield (803 Loomis St) for processional to Highland Cemetery
- 10:30 AM: Burial
- Reception following - location TBD

Thanks, Conor and Marc, for letting us know. It's been a New Year's Day to remember, and it will be burned in our brains forever going forward. FWIW, my Dad, Tom's Dad, our beloved G'ma, and now our dear Cathi have all chosen to exit on a major holiday. We think this signals something. We all know we need respite; this provides us a strange time warp to say: I'm going. See you later. We'll be watching for their lights. Cathi's will be brilliant. I can promise all of us that.
