Hi Russell,

Thanks for sending this message.  I am sorry to hear about this.

 

Can you clarify when the memorial service will be?  January 5th is a Monday… Is it Monday or Tuesday?

 

Thanks,

Silvana

Dear Colleagues,

 

It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of our former colleague and friend, Kathy Vokoun. Kathy dedicated over 30 years of her life to the Dairy Store, where she worked from 1989 until her retirement in 2020.

 

A memorial service to celebrate Kathy's life will be held:

Date: Tuesday, January 5th

Time: 2:00 PM

Location: Lincoln Memorial

 

Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time. 

 

With sympathy,

Russell Parde
