We had it on the schedule 6-8pm, however, we are planning to start at 5pm (to 7pm) since most of the youth will be at the funeral. Please bring clothes to change into after the funeral and we will head over there as a group. We may swing by Mcdonalds so grab a bite to eat so bring a few dollars or a snack for dinner.

Those who would still like to meet us at 6pm or don't plan on attending the funeral, We will be at their old location NOT AT THE CHURCH.
631 FM 270 Rd
League City, TX 77573
(281) 332-3881

Memory Book for Jess

Instead of flowers for the funeral, we would like to put together a memory book for Becca and Jess. Linda was a wonderful, vibrant woman and she will be greatly missed by many. There are so many stories and memories that we all have and I know she was like a second mother to many of you.

We are putting together stationary and a basket for the viewing and funeral for people to write down memories or drop a note of comfort to the girls. But if would like a little more time to think, please feel free to email your memories to me at fenren03@hotmail.com AND if you have any photos of Linda of over the years send them this way (you can scan them in or drop them off at the house).

Notes and letters can be a short paragraph or as long as you want. Feel free to sign your name or leave it anonymous. Also if you are new and didn't know Linda that well and would like to submit a poem or scripture that would be great.

We would like all information in by Friday, but the sooner the better. Hopefully, I can then set the templates set this weekend and have a hard-bound book printed by mid next week.

Sister Bertolinos Viewing and Funeral

Sister Bertolino's viewing/wake will be Tuesday night down in Galveston, followed by the funeral Wednesday. If you would like to attend either please contact one of the YW leaders, we would be happy to car pool.
