Niche Dedication

Dear friends,

I have purchased a niche for Jane's ashes in the beautiful Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland.

On January 26, 2008 -- the Saturday after Jane's 46th birthday -- all are invited to gather with me there at 2:00 p.m. to dedicate the niche. There won't be a formal ceremony; I'm thinking we'll sip some Port (I'm buying), burn some incense, tell some stories, and eventually walk down Piedmont Avenue to Fenton's for ice cream, weather permitting. Yes, every Sandsmark gathering involves a long walk.

Here's a map to Mountain View Cemetery: Map

Here's a map of Mountain View; the urn garden at the far end of the mausoleum is clearly marked: Map

No need to RSVP. Come if you can; if you can't be there in person, think about Jane sometime that afternoon.

P.S. If anybody has a handheld GPS unit, could I borrow it that day?
