Date & Time:
Saturday, October 23, 1PM-6PM
Location:
The Sunset Room @ Shrewsbury City Center
5200 Shrewsbury Ave
Saint Louis, MO 63119
Time:
1PM-6PM. Open House; come and go as you please.

Food and Drink:
Salad, appetizers, sandwiches and pasta (buffet) will be provided.
Beer (basic sampling of A-B products) and wine (basic sampling of red and white) will be provided.
Expectations:
This will be a lighthearted, casual gathering, as Kathy would want.
There will not be a formal “receiving” line. So, if you’re like me, it may serve you well to contact mutual friends and ask their plans. I encourage taking advantage of the opportunity to meet friends before you arrive, especially if it’s been a long time since you’ve seen them. Come together (perhaps go somewhere together afterward, too?). Heck, I’d encourage skipping the memorial altogether if meeting leads to a good time reminiscing over memories of Kathy.
Graveside Service:
Meeting Kutis at entrance 10:15; starting at graveside 10:30.
Calvary Cemetery
5239 W Florissant Ave
